While Kent State University faculty, staff, students and alumni are working and learning from home, they can show their #FlashesForever spirit during video calls.
Two of the video conferencing software platforms being used today are Zoom and Teams, both of which offer users the chance to use their own custom backgrounds using their own photos.
The people who miss the tallest building in Portage County, the Student Green or any of their favorite places on campus can feel free to download and use the following images of the most scenic places on any of the Kent State campuses, courtesy of University Communications and Marketing.
We’re sure the next time our beloved mascot Flash has a video call, you can be sure he’ll be “zooming” around campus using one of these backdrops. Actually, just take him to your next meeting (see below)!
To download an image, click on the link below the picture and then right click and “save image as...” to your desktop or another location. To use the image in Zoom, after downloading your preferred image, go to preferences, select “Virtual Background” and click the plus sign to add the image. Or you can do it from your video call. Next to the “video” icon is an arrow, click that and it will give you the option to “choose virtual background.”
Numerous Kent Campus locations, each Regional Campus and some press conference backgrounds are available. Take a look, choose and download your favorites.
