Use Virtual Backgrounds with a screenshot of the background to make it looks like you're wearing a transparent shirt. This quick tutorial shows you how to do this illusion yourself using your own laptop and Zoom. No editing software needed.

Here are the basic steps:
o Start a Zoom meeting with no one else in it
o Change the Video Settings to not be mirrored
o Go to Full Screen mode
o Take a screenshot without yourself in it
o Save the screenshot
o In Zoom, set that image as your Virtual Background
o Click "I have a green screen"
o Wear a green shirt

If you don't have a green shirt, you can use other solid-color shirts - Zoom lets you pick the color for the green screen.

Try not to move the camera or anything in the background, so that everything stays aligned. So this would not work if you're using Zoom on a hand-help camera that's moving. (That would require professional-level special effects - see Zach King's channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq8DICunczvLuJJq414110A)

If any of you try this out, let me know how it worked for you in the comments.
