Using meeting wallpapers

Meeting hosts can customize the wallpaper in their meeting, adding more color and customization to their meeting. The host or co-host can choose from preset images provided by Zoom or those provided by their account admins. With a selection made, they can also adjust how much to blend the participant videos with the wallpaper image.
