ClearTone by SGO

ClearTone / Meeting Backgrounds

One Background for Every Video Call

ClearTone Camera blurs or replaces the background behind you before any meeting app sees the picture. Choose a background once and Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex and Slack all show the same one.

From £11.49 a month after a 3-day free trial. Windows, Mac and Linux. Works with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and any dialler or softphone.

Choose Your Background Once. It Follows You Into Every App.

Pick a background, then switch between meeting apps. The background stays exactly the same, because ClearTone Camera puts it there before any app sees your picture.

Switch app:

Pick a Background

Same background in Zoom. Nothing to set up inside the app.

  • Set it up once in ClearTone, at the start
  • Choose ClearTone Camera in each app, one time
  • From then on every meeting app shows the same background

Your own picture stays in your browser and is never uploaded. ClearTone Camera runs on Windows 10 and 11.

Backgrounds Without Setting Up Every App

Each meeting app has its own background settings, its own picture library and its own idea of where your hair ends. ClearTone Camera does it once, on your computer, for all of them.

Background Blur

Soften everything behind you so people focus on you, not the washing or the bookcase.

83 Built-In Backgrounds

Offices, homes, cafés, cities, beaches, nature, sports, seasonal scenes and three plain studio colours, all included.

Add Your Own

Add up to 30 of your own pictures, such as your office or company branding. They're cropped to fit and kept even if you move the original.

Works in Every App

Pick ClearTone Camera as the camera in Zoom, Teams, Meet, Webex, Slack or any other video app, once.

Processed on Your Computer

The person cut-out runs locally. Your camera picture is never sent anywhere.

Switch in One Click

Change background or switch to blur from the ClearTone window, and every app updates straight away.

Same background in every app

The washing, an unmade bed or a busy café can say more than you'd like. ClearTone Camera lets you blur it or swap it for a professional scene, once, and every video app shows the same thing.

  • Blur or replace in one click
  • 83 built-in backgrounds plus your own
  • Processed on your own computer

Pick a Background

In ClearTone, open Camera and choose blur, a built-in background or one of your own pictures.

Choose ClearTone Camera

In Zoom, Teams, Google Meet or any video app, choose ClearTone Camera as your camera, once.

Turn Off the App's Own Effects

Set the meeting app's own background to None so the two don't stack. From then on, your ClearTone background appears everywhere.

Consistent and Professional

If you use more than one meeting app, as most people who work with clients do, you end up with a different background in each, or none in some. ClearTone Camera gives you the same professional background in every call, which matters for teams that want a consistent look in front of customers.

Better for Older Laptops

Meeting apps that do background effects inside the app can be heavy on older computers. ClearTone Camera uses a compact person segmentation model and does the work once, rather than every app doing it separately.

Private by Design

The cut-out and the background are applied on your own computer. Your camera picture goes only to the meeting app you chose, just as it would without ClearTone.

Which Computers It Runs On

ClearTone Camera runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11 and is included in every ClearTone plan. On Mac and Linux, ClearTone's audio features all work, and you can keep using your meeting app's own background settings for video.

Can I blur my background in any video app?

Yes. ClearTone Camera blurs your background before the app sees the picture, so it works in any app that lets you choose a camera.

Can I add my own company background?

Yes. Add up to 30 of your own pictures. ClearTone crops them to fit and keeps a copy, so they keep working even if you move the original file.

Does ClearTone Camera work on Mac?
