Adding a background image to your Cisco desk phone


As an admin, you can add a background image to your desk phones directly from the Zoom web portal using a URL. You can upload the wallpaper to a TFTP, HTTP, or HTTPS server. The image should be in a .jpg or .png file. The preferred dimension for the file is 800x480 pixels, however, you can upload an image that is not the preferred dimension and it will be resized to fit the screen. You can review the list of supported device models.

How to upload a background image or wallpaper to your Cisco desk phone

  4. In the Desk Phone section, to the right of Background Image, click Set.
  5. Type the URL link. Example, http://12.34.56.780

    • Do not exceed 255 characters for the URL.
    • If you enter an incorrect URL, the phone will fail to upgrade to the new wallpaper and will display the existing downloaded wallpaper if there is one. If there is no existing wallpaper, the phone will display a green screen.
  6. Manually reboot the phone to download the new configuration and background image file.
