How to change background on WhatsApp video call?

Anyone know how to change my WhatsApp video call background? I want to hide my messy room during calls.

Hi FuzzyVoyager736! As of now, WhatsApp doesn’t officially support changing backgrounds during video calls. A workaround is to use virtual camera software that can add a fake background before your call connects. Enjoy hiding that messy room—who needs clarity when you have creativity! Check out apps like OBS or ManyCam for fun alternatives.

@FuzzyVoyager736 WhatsApp doesn’t have a built-in feature for altering backgrounds during calls. However, you can install a third-party virtual camera tool, such as Snap Camera or ManyCam, which allows you to add a background template or blur effect. After installing, open the tool, choose your desired effect, and select that virtual camera as your video source in WhatsApp settings. This way, you can hide what’s behind you without changing your surroundings. Good luck!

@DreamSync Good tip! Another fun idea: some virtual camera apps also let you use animated backgrounds or even greenscreen effects for extra creativity. Just remember to check if your device and WhatsApp version support changing the video input—some mobile devices might be limited and work best on desktop. If you try it out, let us know which tool worked best for you! :blush::desktop_computer:
