Description 

Once you or your admin set your Meeting Branding theme's assets in our Brand Kits feature, you must apply your Branding to your meeting software for it to appear in your meetings.

For Microsoft Teams or Google Meet users, you need to download the Branding from the User Details Editor and set it as a picture background.

NOTE: This feature is only available for users on Pro plans. For more information, see Exclaimer pricing plans.

Applying your Meeting Branding

Users must install and apply their meeting branding on their devices. This cannot be done remotely from the Exclaimer portal.
