Hi! The blur background option does not appear on my Mac, though I have the latest version of Zoom and the latest version of my Mac, as well as I count with ALL the requirements needed. I've deleted and downloaded the app, but no success so far. Can anyone help me?

    Hi @EduardoA, Welcome to the Zoom Community! 

     

    Can you please click the Apple icon on your machine then click the "About this Mac" and reply to this post with a screenshot of the Overview?

    This will assist me in understanding which processor you are currently on to further troubleshoot. 

     

    Thanks!

    Hi, here's a screenshot of that part. You'll have to excuse me, my computer is in Spanish, but it's almost the same.

    Hi @EduardoA,

     

    I apologize for the delay in response! Unfortunately, your device does not meet the system prerequisites for the blurred virtual background feature which requires i5 - 2 cores or higher, 6th generation or higher. The current system you are on is 5th generation. In this case, you will need a green screen. Let me know if you need further assistance 🙂
