How do I change my virtual background for online meetings?

By popular demand, we have created branded virtual backgrounds to jazz up your RingCentral and Microsoft Teams meetings!

Backgrounds are saved on the P Drive here:  P:\HMI ALL ACCESS\Background images for virtual meetings. Please note that these are specially made for virtual meetings (mirror reversed), so please do not use these images for any other purposes. Please always consult Marketing for image and logo usage.
