Virtual Background for SyncUps
Glen
It doesn't look like there's a way to set a virtual background when you're in a sync call. This is pretty important for remote workers.

Absolutely, this is an absolute must-have nowadays. Not every team member has a silicon mac yet, that can do that on camera level. Should be easy to use like in Zoom and Teams for everybody no matter the hardware. If you really want people to use the syncUps without leaving clickup to start zoom calls, this is mandatory.

100% Agree here. The reason why I haven’t pushed the use of SyncUps internally is because of this.

Enhance SyncUp Tool with Blurred/Custom Backgrounds
Jonah Pollone
Please enhance the SyncUp tool by adding the ability to use a blurred background or upload a custom background during video calls or recordings.
Currently, the SyncUp tool does not offer options to blur the background or set a custom image/background during meetings or recordings. This feature is available in many other video conferencing tools and is highly valued for privacy, professionalism, and personalization, even for internal team use.
Privacy: Users can hide their real environment, protecting sensitive or distracting backgrounds.
Professionalism: Allows users to maintain a clean, branded, or neutral appearance regardless of their physical location.
Personalization: Users can express themselves or represent their company by uploading custom backgrounds (e.g., company logo, branded images).
Suggested Implementation:
- Add a toggle to enable/disable background blur.
- Allow users to upload and select custom images as their background.
- Ensure the feature works smoothly across different devices and operating systems.
Use Cases:
- Remote workers joining meetings from home or public spaces.
- Teams wanting to maintain a consistent, branded look in client-facing calls.
- Users who want to minimize distractions during SyncUp sessions.
Thank you for considering this enhancement!

Syncup Video Backgrounds
Stephen John T. Carlos
I’d like to request a new feature for ClickUp Calls: the ability to set custom or blurred backgrounds during video calls. This would help users maintain privacy, enhance professionalism, and create a more engaging meeting experience—especially when working remotely or from shared spaces.
Rationale:
Our organization operates in a work-from-home environment, and it is critical for us to have actual face-to-face interaction via calls. However, without the option to set backgrounds, many team members are discouraged from turning on their cameras, as we may not have the same acceptable or professional natural backgrounds at home. Providing this feature would encourage more camera use, fostering better communication and collaboration.
Key points:
Option to choose from preset backgrounds or upload custom images.
Ability to blur the background for privacy.
Easy toggle within the call interface.
This feature would align ClickUp Calls with other leading video conferencing tools and improve the overall user experience.

SyncUp Virtual backgrounds
Pete Rakozy
I'd love to hide my unfinished basement walls, coworkers walking around in the background, or just the ugly cabinets - anything I don't want people to see while I'm on a SyncUp. (could we rename SyncUp to SUp too haha)

Adding features to Video Call
Pam I
Hello, we've been transitioning to Clickup Chat for internal communication and we find the Video chat to be the coolest new feature, but would love to get some features that we believe would improve things for everyone using clickup!
- Backgrounds - We would really appreciate having background image options
- Filters - Might sound not-necessary at all! But we would really benefit if our faces looked the same in all platforms. Lol.
- Full-size sharing screen - The sharing screen feature is really tiny and would appreciate being able to make it full-screen or having a zoom-in option.
Thank you for reading my feedback!!

Video Chat Capability
Megan Lutz
Video calls are available however, we are not able to blur or add a background to keep distractions at minimum. We are looking to switch to ClickUp for all chat capabilities and moving from MS Teams, but we need Click Up to have blurred backgrounds available.

Hi there, Will this feature be available soon?
Piotr Suplat
Yes please, that's supper important. I don't wish for my clients to see the (private) mess behind my back, especially since I don't always have the option to move to a more professional setting.
