I've been using Zoom on my iPhone for a while now. The camera quality is decent, but I struggle with lighting. I found that using a ring light made a big difference. Also, switching to the rear camera gives a wider view, which works great for group meetings. Anyone else have tips for better video quality?
Good article! I was wondering if there's a way to use Zoom's virtual background feature on an iPhone without a green screen? Does it work well?
