Test creators can add a custom background to the avatar to add their school's or institution's branding. To change the background of the avatar, click on the Background button highlighted in red below:

Using the drag-and-drop cue card, shown in the image below, upload the background of your choice.

The uploaded background will appear behind the avatar figure, allowing you to preview how the avatar looks against the new backdrop, as shown in the image below.

Once you’re satisfied with the background, use the checkbox labeled **Set background for all scenes** to apply the same background to all scenes.

* If the checkbox is **checked**, the background will be applied to **all scenes** in the assessment.
* If the checkbox is **unchecked**, the background will be applied only to the avatar in the **current scene** you are editing.

After applying the changes, the avatar's new video will need to be generated.

#### Delete avatar's background

First, remove the background from the selected scene by clicking the bin icon (highlighted in red).&#x20;

Then, choose whether to apply the change to all scenes or just the current one by using the **Set background for all scenes** checkbox (highlighted in red in the image below). Finally, click the **Apply** button to confirm the changes.
