background blurry with no virtual background activated - how to unblur?

Hi.

I do not use virtual backgrounds or blurry background on zoom. I need participants to see what is behind me.

However, my background on Zoom is somehow automatically blurry, while the virtual background is set to "none". If I click "blur", it becomes a bit more blurry than usual. Please help to unblur.

      I'm not sure if your issue has been addressed and I was looking for a solution to this very issue myself. I found my issue. I needed to uncheck the "Portrait lighting" box under "Video" in the "Adjust Background & effects" tab. That fixed my slightly blurred background.

      If your Zoom background is blurry despite being set to "None," check Background & Effects settings to ensure blur isn’t applied. Also, verify Studio Effects and your webcam’s software settings. Updating Zoom or reinstalling may help if the issue persists.
