License & Usage Rights

Clear guidelines for using MeetBackdrops virtual backgrounds

โœ… Free for Individual Professional Use

Any individual professional can use MeetBackdrops backgrounds for free, including on work calls for the company they work for. Permitted uses include:

  • ๐ŸŽฅ Video calls on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex, and similar platforms
  • ๐Ÿ  Remote work and internal team meetings
  • ๐ŸŽ“ Online learning and virtual classrooms
  • ๐Ÿ“ก Webinars, livestreams, and broadcast productions
  • ๐Ÿ‘ฅ Client calls and sales conversations
  • ๐ŸŽค Podcasts and recorded interviews
  • ๐Ÿ’ผ Freelance work and client presentations
  • ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ’ผ Job interviews

No attribution required โ€ข No signup needed โ€ข Subject to the free-tier download limits below

๐Ÿ’Ž HD Editions & Subscription

Same license, higher resolution.

HD Editions (one-time purchase) and an active HD Subscription deliver the same image at 2912ร—1632 instead of the free-tier resolution. Permitted uses are identical to the Free section above โ€” Zoom, Teams, Meet, Webex, webinars, podcasts, job interviews, individual professional video calls. Buying or subscribing does not grant additional team-deployment, redistribution, or branding rights.

HD Editions and Subscription downloads are not counted against the free-tier daily/monthly limits below.

โŒ Not Permitted (Free, HD, or Subscription)

Regardless of which tier you're on, the following uses are prohibited:

  • ๐Ÿšซ Reselling or redistributing the backgrounds, in any resolution
  • ๐Ÿšซ Including in products or services you sell
  • ๐Ÿšซ Uploading to stock-photo sites or asset marketplaces
  • ๐Ÿšซ Print materials sold or distributed commercially
  • ๐Ÿšซ Website templates, apps, or themes for sale
  • ๐Ÿšซ Training materials sold or licensed to third parties
  • ๐Ÿšซ Adding your company logo or wordmark directly into the image (Branded Backgrounds is the product for that โ€” see below)

๐Ÿ“„ Commercial & Extended License

The "Not Permitted" uses above all share one thing: the image goes inside something you sell or distribute. Those uses are available โ€” under a paid commercial license.

An Extended License ($49/image) lets you embed one image in a product, course, or client deliverable you sell, and includes the HD file. A Commercial Library License ($299/year) grants those rights across the entire catalog for one company. Both are non-exclusive and come with a license certificate and invoice.

๐Ÿ’ผ Branded Backgrounds โ€” For Teams With a Logo

If your team needs your company logo or wordmark integrated into a studio environment for company-wide use on video calls, that's a separate product: Branded Backgrounds.

The studio designs HD environments with your brand integrated โ€” logo plaques, wall art, signage, framed prints โ€” produced as per-customer composites for company-wide deployment on Zoom, Teams, and Meet. Base library images stay in the catalog; the logo placement is exclusive to the buyer.

โฌ‡๏ธ Free-Tier Download Limits

To keep the free tier sustainable for everyone, free downloads are capped:

  • ๐Ÿ“… Daily Limit: 5 free downloads per day
  • ๐Ÿ“Š Monthly Limit: 10 free downloads per rolling 30-day period
  • โณ Rolling Quota: As your oldest downloads pass the 30-day mark, your quota refreshes automatically

These limits apply to free downloads only. HD Editions (one-time purchase) and an active HD Subscription are not subject to the free-tier daily or monthly limits.

๐Ÿ“‹ Important Notes

  • Rights: Each background is produced by MeetBackdrops through its own studio process. Your use is governed by these license terms; access and use are conditioned on agreeing to them.
  • No Warranty: Backgrounds are provided "as is" without warranty of any kind.
  • Modifications: You may crop or color-adjust a background for your own video-call use. You may not redistribute the modified file, sell it, or add your company logo to it (Branded Backgrounds covers the logo-integration case).
  • Subscription: The HD Subscription is billed monthly, renews automatically, and can be cancelled anytime. License rights granted by past downloads survive cancellation; ability to access new downloads ends with the subscription.
  • Questions: If you're unsure whether a specific use is permitted, contact us before using.
