Thanks, Jonathan, for your clarification. I am now thinking about an
alternative: blurring the background. Skype can do that, but not Zoom
-- unfortunately.
Just one question, what do you mean by green screen? I use zoom
on my
work laptop in Windows 10 showing static and animated backgrounds behind
the camera image so that people can't see anything in the room behind
me, and I didn't think there was anything special in my zoom configuration.
