Customize Virtual Backgrounds

1 - Select images. Go to HERE to see the available virtual background images

2 - Assign image filenames to buttons. In the UI editor:

• Add a group-button and name it "widget_bg_"+your own text ---> Example: "widget_bg_clouds". Then update button IDs with the image filenames you want to use. OR
• Select an existing group-button and update button IDs with the image filenames you want to use.

3 - Rename buttons

Rename the BUTTON text so you know what image it contains. Use short names to make them fit. Don't forget to UPLOAD/activate the modified UI. ('arrow up' button top right

Customize Web Links

1 - Go to the Web panel in the UI editor.
 URLs are configured in button IDs of groupbuttons. These group buttons can be placed anywhere in the UI (doesn't have to be the 'Web' tab)

2 - In the group button config, add the URL
  And after adding the URL, change the name of the groupbutton. Can you add more groupbuttons? Yes, as long as the groupbutton widget id starts with "widget_web_"

3 - Save & Test
  You can modify the max number of horizontal buttons inside the groupbutton by reducing its width. Then you can add more buttons. So, you can have:

• FROM: 2 rows (min) each with 1 button
• UP TO: x rows each with 4 buttons
• example: 3 rows each with 2 buttons horizontally
