Zoom just released the new virtual background feature - Immersive View that would help us feel a bit closer in our virtual meetings. Zoom announced Immersive View at the last Zoomtopia conference and released it now for pro and free accounts in meetings with 25 participants or less. If you have more than 25 people in the meeting, additional participants are displayed in a thumbnail strip on the top of the scene.

Immersive View might be the next generation of virtual backgrounds. Now meeting attendees can all be together in the same location, rather than in small squares with different backgrounds.


How do you enable Zoom Immersive View?

First, of all, you will need to make sure you have the most updated version of zoom and enable the Immersive View feature. Go to:

  1. Zoom web portal

  2. Settings

  3. Meeting

  4. In Meeting (Advanced)

  5. Enable Immersive View

The meeting hosts can enable Immersive View from the top right corner in the same menu where you can select Gallery View and Speaker View. When enabling Immersive View, the host will have the option to manually place participants into a virtual scene of their choosing or to let Zoom do that automatically. Hosts can also easily move participants around and resize a participant’s image if needed.
