How to add an image watermark in Zoom App

by

In most video layouts (Speaker, Gallery, Side-by-side), you will find the watermark feature superimposing an image of the email address of the participant on their video and over their shared content in most applications. As well as displaying one instance of the watermark, you can also display several instances, so that the watermark is more noticeable across the entire screen.

As a result of this feature, you can secure the information that you share during a meeting and make sure that all content that you share or share confidentially belongs to you.

Note : 

  • Admins and account owners who want to use the watermark feature first need to enable the feature Only authorized users can join meetings, or at the user level, they can enable the setting Require authentication to join meetings at the level of the individual. For this reason, participants will be required to verify their identities before they can access the meeting.
  • Zoom will be the only possibility for participants to verify their identities. There are other scheduling tools that do not have the capability of having this option available with additional options, including the Zoom desktop client or the Microsoft Outlook plugin or add-in even when the “Require authentication to join” option is enabled.
