Enabling Background Blur and Effects

Creating a distraction-free teaching environment is crucial for effective online learning. In livetea.ch, enabling background blur or custom effects helps maintain focus on the lesson by minimising visual distractions. This guide will show you two simple methods to set up these visual effects both before and during your lessons.

Set Up Initial Background Effects

Before your lesson begins, you can adjust your background settings directly from the lobby screen. Background blur is enabled by default to create a distraction-free entry for students. If you want to change this, simply toggle off the blur or click 'More Effects' to choose from different blur levels and themed backgrounds. Livetea.ch will remember your preferences, helping you maintain a consistent teaching environment in future sessions.

Adjusting Your Background During the Lesson

If you need to change your background during an active lesson, you can easily do so. Start by clicking the Camera icon located in the toolbar, then choose 'Apply Visual Effects.' This action opens a menu where you can select from various blur levels or upload a custom background to suit your lesson's theme. After making your selection, preview the background to ensure it looks right, and then click 'Accept' to update your settings instantly.

Opt for Simpler Backgrounds for Better Performance

For educators or students on devices with lower processing power, selecting 'Low Blur' or a simple background is recommended. This helps maintain smooth performance and prevents visual effects from causing any slowdowns during the lesson.

Final Thoughts

By setting up background blur or custom effects in livetea.ch, you can create a more focused and engaging learning environment for your students.


Whether you adjust the settings before the lesson or make changes during the session, these simple tools enhance the visual quality of your virtual classroom without compromising performance.


Give them a try in your next online lesson to see how they can elevate your teaching experience.
