Virtual Background for Webcams

I am a Mac user & was wondering if "Go-To-Meeting" have an option for adding a different background during Webinars?  ZOOM offers a free Virtual Background feature that allows you to display an image...

    We listened to you and Virtual Backgrounds are now available in GoTo Meeting through the GoTo App with default and custom backgrounds!

     

    • Along with the Default backgrounds provided by GoTo, Users can add up to 10 custom backgrounds of their choice.
    • Custom background in GoTo helps show off your own personal style and make meetings more fun and inclusive! It provides a great way to minimize those distractions and bring in new ways to meet face to face.
    • We recommend uploading images with an aspect ratio of 16:9 and a resolution of at least 1280x720 pixels (720p) if possible. The higher the resolution, the better your images will appear.
    • You can point to a custom background stored in your local machine from Hallway as well as from In-Session – Camera Setting tab by click on “+” symbol

Ash,

 

I purchased ManyCAm as it was described as workable with GTM...yet, I am unable to get it to work.

 

Any advice?

    None of the suggested third party apps are usable or reliable on macOS. There are a lot of macOS users. SnapCam works for a little while, but it eventually uses so many system resources that the fans get so loud and it affects the audio. I have a well provisioned new MacBook Pro and this happens. A MacBook or Macbook Air would likely crash in this situation.

     

    We need solid native support for this in GTM on all platforms.
