Changing the background
Updated
by Gareth Casey
If you don't want people to see the room that you are in whilst you are part of a video call, or if you just want to add a bit of character to your webcam video, you can replace the video background by going to the Background tab on the left of the Camigo window.
Choose a new background
Camigo includes a number of home and office background images that you can choose from by simply clicking on the thumbnail in the Background tab.
![](https://files.helpdocs.io/9heycgfgxk/articles/88qaijpwo0/1710515473442/panel-background.png)
Select the thumbnail to revert to your actual background. This will always be the top left thumbnail on the Background tab.
If none of the stock images are suitable, you can also import you own images by clicking the Upload Image button. Any images that you import, will be added to the Backgrounds tab for future selection.
You can also delete unwanted images from the Background tab by hovering your mouse cursor over the thumbnail and then clicking the X button that appears in the top corner of the thumbnail.
Blurring the background
Instead of completely replacing the background of your webcam video, you can simply just blur it instead by selecting the Blur thumbnail.
The blur thumbnail will always be the top right thumbnail on the Background tab.
Create Background
If you want to replace your webcam background but don't have a suitable image or you would like something a bit more creative than a simple office, click the Create Background button to use AI tools to creaie a custom background using a number of preset themes and locations.
![](https://files.helpdocs.io/9heycgfgxk/articles/88qaijpwo0/1710515684203/create-background.png)
On the AI backgrounds window, you will first need to select a Theme, which will determine the general look and style of the background. Depending on which theme is selected, you will then be able to select a more specific Location. The types of location vary from a Mountain Retreat to Haunted Mansion. Finally, setting the Lighting of the background will let you choose whether it is set during the daytime or nightime.
When you have finished choosing each of the above, click the Generate button and, after a short wait, 2 possible backgrounds will be displayed. Click on any that you want to keep (a blue tick will appear in the top right corner to indicate when an image has been selected) and then click the Save and Exit button to return to the Background tab with any selected images added to the tab for selection.

Style My Room
Another alternative to completely replacing yoru background is to use AI tools to create a new background that is either based on the room you are in or on an image that you import.
Click the Style My Room button to get started and then click either Upload to import an image that you have saved on your computer or Take photo to use your webcam to take a photo of the room you are in.
![](https://files.helpdocs.io/9heycgfgxk/articles/88qaijpwo0/1710515640544/style-my-room.png)
When taking a photo, you will be given the choice of which webcam to use to take the photo and then, when you click the Capture Photo button, a 3 second countdown will begin to give you chance to step away from your webcam so that the whole background is visible in your photo.

Once you have a suitable image or photo, choose the Style of how you would like the new image to appear. For example, you could simply use the existing background by make it tidier if there is a lot of mess, or you can completely upgrade it a fantasy or sci-fi setting. Setting the Strength option will determine how much the original background will be changed to achieve your selected style.
When you have chosen a style, click the Generate button and, after a short wait, 2 possible backgrounds will be displayed. Click on any that you want to keep (a blue tick will appear in the top right corner to indicate when an image has been selected) and then click the Save and Exit button to return to the Background tab with any selected images added to the tab for selection.
