How can I display a background (image/video/screen) in fairmeeting?

In fairmeeting, a static or animated background image can be selected, which is displayed during the video conference. Simply select a locally saved photo or video and have it displayed as a background within the video conference. Alternatively, a video being played in another window via a video platform can also serve as a background.

To use an image or video as a background, simply follow the steps below:

More Settings

Click on the three dots "More Settings" via the menu.


Select background

Click on "Select background" in the list. A "Backgrounds" window will open.

Add background

Here you can choose whether your own background should be displayed blurred or whether a custom background should be applied.
Clicking "Add background" opens the file manager on the device.

Upload file

In fairmeeting pro, you can also upload your own image.

Navigate to the relevant folder in the file manager and select the desired image. Confirm with "Open".
The selected image will be displayed as the background. Confirm once more with "Apply".

All files

To display a video as a background, you can follow the same steps as described in the instructions for setting a photo as a background. In the file manager, however, make sure that "All files" is selected, otherwise saved videos will not be displayed.

Share screen

To share the screen as a background, the "Backgrounds" window can be opened via the more settings option, as described in the previous instructions. However, you must then click on the share screen icon.

Select screen

A window will automatically open in the browser for selecting the window or screen to be shared. The relevant window or screen can be selected via the drop-down menu. Confirm with "Allow". The selected background will be applied. Confirm once more with "Apply".

This allows, for example, a video being played in another browser window via a video platform to be used as a background.
