Supported file types

Upload an image in one of the following formats: jpeg, jpg, png, ico, icon or tiff.

We recommend a size of at least 720px high and wide. Preferably a 4:3 ratio (e.g. 960 × 720).

 

General images

If you don't have a custom image or your subscription doesn't allow it, you and your meeting guests can select one of the 8 general images in the image background settings. To select one of the images, click on an image and click on the submit button, or double-click the image.
