Why 1920×1080 Pixels?
Most webcams record in 1080p (1920×1080). Matching your virtual background to this resolution means Zoom doesn't have to scale the image, resulting in sharper backgrounds with better edge detection around your silhouette.
Look Professional Anywhere
A well-designed virtual background lets you take calls from anywhere without revealing your location. Office backgrounds, branded backdrops, or clean minimal designs all work well when properly sized.
