Hi.
Is there a way to put a ditial background behind my big head to block my messy house?
Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Welcome @cduque thanks for checking out our Community.
As mentioned in this thread, you can use ChromaCam, a third party service for customized backgrounds currently. Virtual backgrounds are part of the new GoTo app experience and will be available on GoTo Webinar when it's launched sometime this year.
There are other virtual meeting software that will allow you to do this, but GoTo does not.
Some webcams come with software that allows you to add a background. There might be third-party software that will let you add a background to your webcam that could be seen by GoTo.
I talked to Support earlier this week and was told that GoToWebinar has partnered with Chromacam.me . However, you have to purchase from Chromacam.me. I contacted them, but it took 4 days for them to return my request for information. They do not offer a phone number on their site. GoToWebinar also offered SnapCamera.snapchat.com, but I thought that was too playful and not for professional use.
When can we expect virtual backgrounds in GTW?
We plan to offer additional webcam support for virtual backgrounds very soon. Thanks for your patience.
Hi,
I have had a request from a panelist at one of my webinars about whether they are able to change their webcam background on GoToWebinar like you can do on Zoom or Teams - does GoToWebinar webcam have this functionality?
Thanks,
Libby
not now, but it has been suggested here several times.
GoToWebinar will use the Chromocam software. Please note that Chromocam has had several issues and updates, since we purchased it. It can be frustrating.
@Golder Sorry, can you say what issues you've experienced while integrating ChromaCam with your GoTo webcam feed?
We have had several clients request an integrated virtual background for GoToWebinar so much so there have been requests to switch to Zoom or WebEx Events. I do not want to switch! Unfortunately, the third party apps do not work for most of our panelists . Does anyone have an update on the progress of adding one in GoToWebinar?
