I can't turn off the virtual background—it stays a constant sky-blue.

I selected the "None" option for the virtual background, yet a virtual background is still being applied; Zoom is unable to display my actual surroundings. I have already turned off "I have a green screen". by the way I got a Mac.

    Quit Zoom completely, reopen it, set Background to “None” again, and turn off all Effects/Filters. Also update Zoom if needed.
