Creating Zoom Backgrounds with Canva

via Skillshare

Overview

Zoom is the app everybody seems to be using right now!

It allows us to keep in touch with our loved ones but also communicate with our colleagues and clients. 

In this course we are going to add a bit of fun to our Zoom conversation by creating virtual backgrounds with Canva, these background will later be uploaded to Zoom for everybody to see them.

This class is for everybody who is already using Zoom for making video call or who is thinking about downloading the app. You'll need a Zoom account and a Canva account - the good news is: both are free ;)

Diana and Ronny will be your host for this course, we figured we would create this course together to bring you even more value, now you got two teachers for the price of one!

The objective of this class is to show you how to use Canva to create both still and video backgrounds that you'll be using on Zoom to bring some fun to the conversations.

______________

Class Outline:

  1. Ronny will start with a bit of context and the creation of a still background
    I'll tell you how and why Canva decided to add Zoom backgrounds to its template library and then we'll jump right in the creation of our first background: a still image with our personal branding on it.

  2. Diana will show you how to create video backgrounds
    Backgrounds really come to life when you add video to them. Canva will be our perfect companion to create these video backgrounds. We will work with videos from the Canva library but also some our our own videos. And if you don't have videos yet, don't worry... Diana will show you how to record one.

  3. Diana & Ronny will both teach you how to create animated backgrounds
    Canva has made it really easy to use animations. So we'll take advantage of that and create yet another set of Zoom backgrounds using the Canva stickers and some other techniques.

  4. Uploading all your Backgrounds to Zoom
    In this final lesson Diana will show you how to upload all your newly created backgrounds to Zoom and how to start using them.

Now is a good time to grab a cup of your favorite beverage and start the class!
