Does using a virtual background in Zoom negatively impact the connection/bandwidth/video quality?
Answer
A virtual background does not negatively impact the video quality in Zoom.
Video challenges can be affected by the Internet quality of each participant, as well as by the number of participants in the meeting or class. If you are experiencing chopping or freezing Zoom classes, asking everyone to turn their video off whenever it is not necessary (e.g., when they need to ask a question or share their screen) can help everyone have a better class experience.
