This guide will walk you through how to get your background blurry on Zoom on your computer and phone. The Zoom blur background feature uses artificial intelligence to detect the foreground and separate it from the people and objects other than yourself, which is automatically obscured. It is easy to blur background in Zoom on both mobile and desktop apps. Blurring the background in Zoom not only makes you look more professional, but it also protects your privacy. If you happen to be in a Zoom meeting in a noisy cafe or cluttered room or other inappropriate situation, Zoom's ability to blur the background of your video feed will be a lifesaver.
