Custom Background Photos for Camera Effects

Dayworkbook
We would like to have the ability to upload our own background photos directly into the camera effects, similar to what is available in Zoom or Google Meet. This feature would allow us to personalize our video backgrounds more effectively, enhancing our video communication experience.

Hi Dayworkbook, thanks for the request. Custom background photo uploads inside camera effects makes sense, especially for keeping branding consistent across outreach videos.
To scope this properly, can you share a bit more detail on how you would want it to work?
1) Where should the upload live?
- In the camera effects panel while recording
- In settings as a background library you can pick from later
- Both
2) Who should manage the backgrounds?
- Per user
- Shared across a workspace or team
- Both (personal plus shared)
3) What file types and limits do you need?
- JPG, PNG, maybe GIF
- Approximate max file size and recommended dimensions
4) How should backgrounds be applied?
- Only for camera recording
- Also for screen recording with camera bubble
- Persist as a default background for future recordings
5) Any requirements around brand control and compliance?
- Admin approved backgrounds only
- Locking backgrounds for certain teams
- Audit or versioning needs
6) Quality expectations
- “Good enough” static background replacement
- Or closer to Zoom style segmentation with edge cleanup and blur options
If you can answer those, we can confirm the best approach and what an initial version should include.
