Creating a Virtual Background

Blinq Virtual Backgrounds make it easy to quickly share your details and Blinq card over Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or any other video chat software.

Your Virtual Background includes a static background image, as well as a Details section containing the QR code of your Blinq card (including your logo if you're a Premium or Business user), a heading, and up to four lines of additional information.

What you'll need:

▶ Access to dash.blinq.me

▶ An existing Blinq Card to assign to the background

▶ A Premium or Business account, if you want your logo included


Creating your Virtual Background

  1. Log in to dash.blinq.me using a computer or tablet browser.

  2. Click the Virtual Backgrounds tab on the left-hand side menu.

  3. Click Create background.

  4. Click the text box to add a Title for the background.

  5. From the Assign to Card drop-down, select the card you want to add to the background.

  6. Scroll down to the Background images tab to choose one of the provided background images, or upload your own.

  7. Click the Details tab to edit the information box displayed alongside your QR code, as well as its size and positioning on the background.

  8. Click Save and Download to save your Virtual Background and download the image. If you're not finished yet, click Create at the top right of the screen instead to save your progress.

  9. Add the downloaded image file as the background within your video chat software.

Tip

By default, the details section automatically pre-fills information from your Blinq card. The Heading field populates with the Name on your card, and the first two lines of the Extra information fields with your Job title and Company. You can change any of these.

Tip

If you've created a Virtual Background for a team member, you'll be prompted to email them a link to download it directly. They can also access and download their background by logging into their account via the Dashboard and heading to the Virtual Backgrounds tab.
