The customer zoom faced the challenge of meeting the rapidly increased demand for high-quality video conferencing features during the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically needing a virtual background solution to protect user privacy and enhance call engagement. To address this, they utilized the Banuba Face AR SDK from the vendor Banuba.

The solution implemented was the integration of Banuba's virtual background changer, which uses AI-based neural networks for real-time portrait segmentation. This allowed zoom users to easily blur or replace their backgrounds with static or dynamic images. The results included enhanced user privacy, increased call professionalism, and added fun through AR effects, contributing to the platform's massive growth and user satisfaction during a critical period.
