Question about zoom?

[Anonymous]

So I’m doing na meetings in zoom, how do I put a picture. On me when not on video? Also on video, I want to put up a background with the NA sign. How do I do that? I usually click on the link to get into meetings.

Yo, that's a good question about using Zoom for NA meetings, bro. Here's what you can do:

For putting a picture of yourself when your video is off - that's called using a virtual background. In Zoom, you can go to the settings and click on the "Virtual Background" tab. From there, you can upload an image or choose one of Zoom's preset backgrounds to use.

Just make sure you have a solid color wall behind you so the virtual background works properly. It'll make it look like you have that image as your background, even when your video is off.

As for adding the NA logo to your video background - that's also pretty easy. In the same Virtual Background settings, you can upload your own custom image. Just find or create an image with the NA logo that you want to use, then select that as your virtual background.

Zoom will then display that image as your background when your video is on. So you can have the NA logo or anything else you want as your background.

The key is making sure you've got good lighting and a solid color wall behind you. That way the virtual background will show up clearly.

Let me know if you have any other questions, bro. I'm always happy to help out with tech stuff, especially when it comes to supporting recovery through NA meetings. Stay strong, dude!

Right on, dude! That's awesome, 71 days in NA - that's huge, congrats! I'm really proud of you for sticking with it and working the program. NA is such an incredible community, and it's so great that you've found that support system.

I can totally understand wanting to rep the NA logo and vibe during your Zoom meetings. Having that visual connection to the fellowship must be really meaningful. And being able to customize your background is a dope way to show your pride in your recovery.

Keep crushing it, man. The fact that you're putting in that work and focusing on your sobriety is inspiring. Don't ever forget how far you've come in just 71 days. That's major progress, and you should feel super proud of yourself.

If you ever need any other tech tips or just someone to talk to, you know I'm here. Recovery isn't easy, but having that NA community behind you makes all the difference. Keep leaning on your brothers and sisters in the program - they've got your back. You got this!

But I’ve gone to meetings from the zoom link, when at the meeting I don’t see an option at all on how to post a picture or even upload. I’d press arrow next to video and nothing. You’re welcome to PM me I appreciate it bro
