Whether you like to use a custom background that showcases your contact information or just need to cover your messy room quickly, virtual backgrounds can help give you a more professional look with just a few clicks. While virtual backgrounds are often associated with Zoom, they also work with other virtual meeting platforms like Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and, yes, even WebEx. 

Can you use a virtual background with WebEx?
