PROTIPS:

Make sure you use the platform (desktop vs. mobile) each background is optimized for to ensure highest quality.

For desktop:

In the Choose Virtual Background settings menu, un-check the mirror my video option so words, logos, etc. read left-to-right (not mirrored/right-to-left).

Find a solid-colored, plain wall to set up in front of for the best virtual background quality. If you don't have a solid wall or green screen, in the Choose Virtual Background settings menu, un-check the I have a green screen option.

For mobile: To save + easily access images, tap and hold your finger on the image within the Dropbox App to reveal the Save to Camera Roll option.
