Let us help you get started

Templates options are intended to be a helpful starting point for individuals who would like to work within a structured branded template.

Those wishing to design publications without using templates must meet UMaine’s branding standards and are asked to submit PDF design proofs to the Division of Marketing and Communications for review prior to printing.

Zoom virtual backgrounds

Zoom’s virtual background feature allows you to select and display an image or video behind you instead of showing your real surroundings. To allow Zoom to detect the difference between you and your background, this feature works best with:

  • Uniform lighting.
  • A solid color behind you.
  • Clothing that is a different color than your selected virtual background.

In addition to Zoom’s default options, you can upload a custom virtual background. We created some UMaine-branded backgrounds and co-branded backgrounds for use during your lectures, appointments, meetings, etc.
