WebAround Frequently Asked Questions ("FAQ")

Q1: How quickly can I get the Webaround?
A1.1. Your Webaround order will ship on the next business day. If you need SAME DAY shipping for orders placed before 12 pm Eastern time, choose Rush Order processing.
A1.2. We ship via UPS Ground, with a transit time of 1 to 5 days from Michigan, depending on the destination.

Q2: Will the 42", 52", or 56" Webaround create a big enough background?
A2. It depends on the following:
• How close you sit to your camera/webcam.
• The field of view of your camera. This can vary between models/types.

Because of these factors, only you can answer this FAQ #2. Here is how:
A2.1. Sit in front of your camera/webcam, in the same chair and position that you would use the Webaround.
A2.2. Get a tape measure and have someone measure from edge to edge of your camera's field of view, as shown on your video window. This measurement is the size of Webaround to order. But you can also:

→ Move closer to and further from the camera to see if a different size Webaround will work.
→ Adjust the zoom setting on your webcam or camera.
Here is how to zoom in Windows.
MacBook webcams have wide angle lenses that can show more area than other cameras. The field of view may be too large for the Webaround to cover. For zooming a MacBook webcam, try the iGlasses app. But it does NOT work with FaceTime or Photo Booth in macOS 10.14 (Mojave) or macOS 10.15 (Catalina). Otherwise, there is no way to zoom with the MacBook camera as of this writing (4-19-2020).

Q3: I want to create a virtual background (superimposed image) with a chroma key screen. Will Webaround work?
A3: Yes. And here is some advice on whether to get green or blue. Also refer to FAQ # 12.

Q4: Can I get a logo or design printed on my Webaround?
A4: Yes. The fee is $18 per WebAround plus a one-time setup fee of $39. For orders of 10 or more Webarounds, we can lower the artwork printing price. Steps:
1. On this page, in the menu next to the price, make the selections for "Printed Logo/Design" and "Printing Setup Fee". Complete the checkout process.
2. After you place your order, reply to your emailed receipt. Attach your graphic file in one of the following preferred formats: .eps, .psd, .ai, or .cdr. You may also send .jpg, but the image cannot be enlarged.
3. On the email, tell us the position on the Webaround to print the artwork.
• Want multiple prints of the same logo on one Webaround? It is $18 per print.
4. On the email, tell us the dimensions of the print(s). Maximum dimensions of the printed art are 4" x 9".
5. We will send you a proof so that you can approve it, about 3 business days after you send us the artwork.
6. After you approve the proof, we typically ship your printed Webaround in about 1 week.

Other logo ordering info: If you send a .jpg, we will print the image exactly as you send it. If the .jpg has a white background, then we will print it in white ink. If you don't want a white background, then you must send it in a different format such as .ai and tell us "transparent background". Printing resolution is 125 dpi. Please consult a graphic artist for further assistance. We do not offer graphic artist consultation. If you do not have expertise in graphic arts, we recommend you show the graphic artist these instructions and your image before ordering. No returns on orders for printed Webarounds.

Q5: Can I get it in another color besides Ocean Blue, Gray or Green?
A5: Yes, for order quantities greater than 750 and a ship-out time of 2 months.

Q6: How do I clean the Webaround?
A6: Hand-wash with a damp rag. Hang to dry. Never machine wash.

Q7: Can I iron the Webaround?
A7: Yes. To smooth out visible wrinkles, iron the fabric at the nylon temperature setting until wrinkles disappear. Make sure you keep the iron moving and do not leave it in one place for too long, as this could burn the fabric. Avoid ironing any logos on the fabric. Instead, use a pressing cloth between the logo and iron. After ironing, keep the WebAround open until it cools off.

You can also use a steamer to remove wrinkles. Simply open your Webaround and glide your steamer over the surface, leaving you with a smooth backdrop to use with your webcam.

Q8: Which types of chairs does the Webaround fit on?
A8: It stretches to fit on virtually any type of chair, except for some high and wide-backed executive type chairs.

Q9: How do I put it on the chair?
A9: Slip the elastic band over the chair and adjust the strap to fit. Here is a video with more info and another one here.

Q10: How do I fold the Webaround?
A10: Video instructions. Text instructions:
1. Hold the Webaround in front of you, with your hands even with the edges of the large chair strap facing towards you.
2. Bring hands toward each other, folding the Webaround in a U shape, almost in half.
3. Just before your wrists meet, twist them toward each other. The Webaround will start to coil around itself.

Q11: The screen doesn't stay flat; it always has a forward or backward tilt to it.
Q11: One of the top corners is always leaning back and the other leaning forward.
A11: The Webaround is designed to fit most chairs by making adjustments to the integrated, sewn-in spacer. Also, try moving it up higher on your chair. Also, try putting it on your chair backwards, with the color fabric strap on the back of your chair. The Webaround is made to fit almost any type of chair available. However, there are some necessary adjustments depending on the chair that you use. First, start by making adjustments with the front and back strap to straighten the unit. You also want to make sure the webcam is at eye level with you, not looking upward or down.

Next, adjust the integrated stabilizer to press the Webaround unit against the chair back. Adjustments can reduce shadows while using chromakey. Make sure the Webaround is pushed firmly against the chair back, and that the integrated stabilizer is folded out.

The 52" Square model always tilts in one corner. The viewer of the presentation will not be able to see the tilt. If you think the tilt will bother you, then please choose the round Webaround.

Q12: Which software apps are compatible with Webaround?
A12: Zoom, GoToMeeting, WebEx, Skype, and many others.

Some users have reported problems with setting up the virtual background with Zoom. Here are some troubleshooting tips.
