    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

We now offer full support of background creation with webcams in GoToMeeting, though this still requires an app download to integrate successfully:  https://support.goto.com/meeting/help/how-do-i-change-my-webcam-background

 

Let us know if it should fail for any reason and we can look into the environmental factors with you.

Sorry, but this is not a solution. ChromaCam was taxing this Mac, fans were spinning hard, and the application didn't even work. The masking is incredibly pixelated.
