Question

Virtual Background not working, even though enabled

This has always worked on Zoom for me.  Logged in today, and it says, "Virtual Background has been disabled, go to Meeting Settings".

I went to meeting setting and enabled it, but I still receive the same message that it is disabled.

Please help!  (Pics attached)

      Did anyone find a resolution to this issue?  I have several users experiencing the same issue.

      sounds like the feature has disabled on an Account level. are you and admin on your Zoom account?

      Is this a meeting you are the Host of. Or are you attending someone else’s meeting. Another host could have the setting disabled by them or the admin of the account globally.

      I am the host of mine. I have the settings enabled but still not able to use backgrounds. Free user. Is that the problem?

       

      UPDATE: Never mind. Restarted Zoom and it works now.
