It&#8217;s no surprise that its popularity keeps growing. The rapid growth also means increased expectations for high-quality video, which is why your background on video conference calls has to be up to par.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this blog post, we discuss the reasons why your video conference background matters and share some easy tutorials on how you can replace your web conference background with images, videos, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want more video conferencing tools? <a href=\"https:\/\/manycam.com\/download\/?source=blog-280220\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download ManyCam for free today!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The growth of video conferences<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Video conferencing is on a high growth trajectory as it becomes a businesses&#8217; go-to communication medium. The main advantages of replacing in-person meetings for video conferences are clear:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Reduce travel time and overall costs<\/li><li>Increase productivity while save time&nbsp;<\/li><li>Improve communication effectiveness<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Report Buyer's (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reportbuyer.com\/product\/5732638\/global-video-conferencing-market-analysis-forecast-to-2023.html\" target=\"_blank\">Report Buyer&#8217;s<\/a> forecast, the video conferencing market is expected to reach $13.83 billion by 2023, which represents a compound annual growth rate of 12.1% from 2018.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why consider a video conference virtual background?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the main reasons video conferences are more effective than conference calls is the added visual element to the communication. Our brains process images much faster than words. Plus, visual elements can drastically increase our ability to retain information, which is crucial during business meetings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During a video conference, if you want to maximize your communication effectiveness, paying attention to the visual stimuli you are transmitting is vital. You can use your backdrop to your advantage. Your video conference virtual background can help you get your message across.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More importantly, when you can control your web conference background, you can drive attendees to focus on what matters. The downside of our rapid visual processing is how easily we can get distracted, especially if a lot is going on in the background.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Get <a href=\"https:\/\/manycam.com\/buy\/?source=blog-backgroundvideoconference\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ManyCam with a special discount<\/a> to use the Virtual Backgrounds or Chroma Key feature, available on Studio, Premium or Enterprise subscriptions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Replacing your video conferencing background<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to control your video conference background is to connect a live video software to your web conferencing app. It acts as a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"virtual webcam (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/manycam.com\/blog\/virtual-webcam-for-video-calls\" target=\"_blank\">virtual webcam<\/a> and gives you access to tons of tools, including the ability to replace your background with images, videos, and other video sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>ManyCam Virtual Backgrounds<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Virtual Backgrounds feature detects your background automatically, without the need for a green screen.

It also ensures that no color tone or objects will be removed since these colors are not naturally occurring.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to replace your background on video conference calls?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Replacing the background on video conference calls is much easier than most people think.

Using footage as your background on video conference calls can help you keep attendees engaged.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Extra tip: <\/strong>Make sure the video doesn&#8217;t work against you. It has to be something engaging but not to the point where attendees only want to watch the video instead of focusing on you.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/manycam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/replace-background-on-video-conference-calls-tutorial.gif\" alt=\"Replace your background on video conference calls with video files tutorial\n\" class=\"wp-image-4373\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With ManyCam 7, you can quickly add new layers to your main screen by dragging and dropping files. In this example, we&#8217;ve dragged a video file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you drop the file onto the main screen, the app asks you how you want to add it. To set a background, you can choose &#8220;Create New Layer.&#8221; The reason why we want a new layer is so that we can have more control over the layer&#8217;s positioning. Then, we simply right-click on it to manage the layer we&#8217;ve added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two steps that follow are focused on managing the layer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Fit to screen<\/li><li>Send to back<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>With that done, you&#8217;ll have your video file as your video conference background.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Add any video source as your background for video conferences<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Images and videos are the most common options for video conference backgrounds, but that doesn&#8217;t mean you can&#8217;t explore other options. Innovation can be an excellent strategy to grab your colleagues&#8217; attention during online meetings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you right-click on the main screen, you can create new layers with any of the supported video sources. In other words, your background can be your desktop screen, solid colors, another camera angle, YouTube URLs, etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The process to manage the layer once you&#8217;ve added to your main screen is similar to the one described above, right-click to find the manage option and select &#8220;Fit to Screen&#8221; then &#8220;Send to back.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Connecting ManyCam to your video conference<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With your ManyCam setup ready, all that is left is connecting it to your web conference app. Since the specific steps will vary from one application to the next, here are the general steps you should take.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Go to the Settings tab of the video conference app and look for the Video Settings.
