Dear Zoom Team,

I have been using a Ryzen 2600 processor with 6 cores and 12 threads (16GB RAM), and I have successfully utilized the background blur function without any issues. However, I noticed that the new requirements now specify an 8-core processor, which seems to be an increase that may not be necessary for such a basic feature.

Could you please provide any insights into this change? Additionally, I would greatly appreciate it if you could consider lowering the hardware requirements for the background blur feature, as it has been functioning well on my current setup.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response.

“Virtual background” on Ryzen 3 7000 Series:

Windows 11 - working
Browser - working
Linux Mint (suspect Ubuntu also) - not working

Please add Ryzen 3 support for Linux builds.

Dear Zoom Team,

I've been using Zoom with an AMD Ryzen 5 2600 (6 cores, 12 threads) and 16 GB of RAM, and the Background Blur feature has always worked smoothly on my system.

I recently noticed that the updated hardware requirements now specify an 8-core processor for this feature. Since Background Blur has been running reliably on my current setup, I'm curious about the reason for this change.

Could you share any technical details behind the updated requirement? If possible, I'd also like to request that you reconsider the minimum hardware requirement, as many users with capable 6-core processors may still be able to use the feature without any performance issues.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Best regards,
Lukas
