  3. The 'Background settings' menu will appear.
  4. Select 'Add new' to upload your image from your computer (.JPG, .PNG, or .BMP formats only).

IMPORTANT: The Team Teesside logo and hashtag will appear back-to-front as you look at the screen but don't worry, everything will appear the right way round to the other people on your video.
