Bookshelf Virtual Backgrounds for Webex

A wall of books is the single most requested professional backdrop, and for good reason: it reads as knowledgeable and established the instant a call connects, without pulling focus. These bookshelf and shelving scenes are arranged and lit so titles stay legible-but-not-distracting and the shelves hold their depth through webcam compression.

Cisco Webex supports custom virtual backgrounds across its desktop and mobile apps, and like every platform it looks best with a clean, purpose-composed image behind you. These environments are studio-designed and 4K-upscaled so they read as a real space on Webex rather than a pasted-on photo.

Frequently Asked

Bookshelf backgrounds on Webex — FAQ

How do I add a virtual background in Webex?

From the Webex video preview before a meeting (or Video options during one), choose Change background, click Add, and select the PNG you downloaded. Apply it and Webex stores it for future meetings. No green screen is required on supported devices.

What size should a Webex background be?

Use a 16:9 image at 1920×1080 or higher. The free backgrounds here are 1456×816 (16:9) and HD editions are 2912×1632 — both fill a Webex call cleanly. A 16:9 source prevents stretching or cropping.

Do these work on Webex mobile as well as desktop?

Yes — the images are standard 16:9 PNGs, which Webex accepts as custom backgrounds on both desktop and its mobile apps. The exact menu wording varies by version, but the upload step is the same: add the image, then select it.

Are these Webex backgrounds free?

Yes. The full library is free to download and use, with no signup and no watermark. HD editions add resolution for large monitors and recordings, but the free PNGs are ready for everyday Webex meetings.
