Add a virtual background to your video feed

You can customise your video background in Lessonspace by uploading an image, such as your organisation’s logo or a preferred background, to appear behind you during your lesson. This is a great way to hide your real-life environment or visually represent your brand.

Who can set virtual backgrounds?

Only admins can set a virtual background. If you're not an admin, you’ll need to ask someone with admin access to set it for your organisation.

How to enable and set a virtual background:

  1. Go to your Lessonspace Dashboard.
  2. Navigate to Spaces > Feature Settings.
  3. Scroll down to the Virtual Background section.

  4. Toggle “Use Lessonspace defaults” off.
  5. Upload your preferred image.

  6. Click Save changes.

Once enabled, the virtual background will automatically appear in all Spaces for all tutors and admins.

Note: If you use an image with text (like a logo), it may appear mirrored to you during sessions. Don’t worry, other participants will see it the correct way. This is because most video platforms mirror your view by default.
