Abstract
A virtual-background (VBG) rule for setting a first target VBG of a first conference participant of at least two conference participants of a video conference is identified. The at least two conference participants include the first conference participant and a second conference participant. The VBG rule identifies a VBG source. The first target VBG for the first conference participant set using the VBG rule is different from a second target VBG for the second conference participant set using the VBG rule. A VBG datum is obtained from the VBG source. The first target VBG is set using the VBG datum to obtain a target output image. The target output image is transmitted for display or is displayed.
