Customizing branding for your vanity URL
Once you have an approved vanity URL, you can customize it with your organization's branding. Review our branding guidelines before customizing your page with the Zoom logo or other marketing materials.
Any changes made to branding will only apply when accessing the Zoom web portal from your vanity URL (for example, yourorganization.zoom.us). Branding will not apply when accessing the web portal from zoom.us.
Notes:
- We strongly recommend you have experience with web design (HTML and CSS) before customizing branding settings. Consult a web developer if you are having issues with your HTML/CSS.
- Javascript is not currently supported for custom branding.
- Account owners and admins can force sub accounts to use the same branding settings as the parent account. These sub accounts will not be able to change branding settings in their own account.

To change the text color of the landing page content (not including the buttons), add the color attribute within .content-body { }. Use a lighter color if your background is dark.

Button background color
Attribute name: background-color (look for the background-color attribute that is nested under .button)
To change the background color of the three buttons (Join, Host, and Sign In), you need to specify colors using color hex values, for example, #FFFFFF is white. Use Colorpicker for identifying and selecting colors by hex value.
.button {
width: 80px;
background-color: #000000; /*customize button color */
border-color: #2D8CFF;
padding: 12px 20px;
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;
margin: 10px 0;
transition: .3s ease;
}

Attribute name: background-color (nested under .button.hover)
To change the button color when you hover your mouse pointer over it, specify colors using color hex values, for example, #FFFFFF is white. Use Colorpicker for identifying and selecting colors by hex value.

.button:hover {
background-color: #eb9834; /*customize button color */
}

<div class="row">
<img src="https://zoom.us/account/branding/p/1c7dfaf5-2646-4224-92e0-5abef82036b1.png" alt="Zoom Logo"> <!--customize company logo-->
