Let’s just jump in and have a look at how it works. But I had it working just fine on my MacBook Pro so hopefully your system will support it too. What people don’t realize, however, is that Skype not only has virtual backgrounds but it also has a really helpful ‘blur background’ feature which you might appreciate even more! There are some hardware constraints with all of this, however, so if you have an ancient old PC that can barely launch Skype at all, you might lack the CPU oomph to have all this work properly. I wrote about using virtual backgrounds with Zoom if you want to check that out.
Not sure what I’m talking about here? It’s when you can superimpose a photo, drawing, or even video behind you in a video chat. I think Zoom is more popular because it was adopted by schools and gained lots of visibility quickly, but to be fair, Zoom’s designers also had a chance to learn from Skype’s design and add some fun features to differentiate from the business video meeting tool. Though it doesn’t get much love, Skype is still a great video conferencing, chat and meeting tool used worldwide.
