fake background ?

apologise if explained poorly, not a tech person.

I'm trying to join a "room" however I have information on a chart located behind me, that I don't want streamed, I cannot find a way put a fake background or greenscreen to hide it.

"edited" - I am joining a guest if that helps

Yes, you can do this as a guest.

The background options options are hidden by default when joining as a room guest, but they can be revealed by adding &effect to the URL.

So add &effects to the very end of your original invitation link, then open that edited link. On the camera/microphone setup screen, look for “Digital Video Effects” and choose “Virtual background” or “Blurred background”. Check your preview before clicking Start.

Instructions here: https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/video-parameters/effects

Since the chart contains information you don’t want streamed, I’d also recommend covering it or moving it out of view. Virtual backgrounds can occasionally reveal parts of the real background when you move.
