Blurred Background Problem

Hello,

I have Zoom on my PC version 5.8.0 and I want a blurred background but when I go into my settings page under "Backgrounds & Filters", I only have San Francisco, Earth, and Grass. I don't have a Blur option. I have researched this and tried everything and it didn't work. I even uninstalled Zoom and reinstalled it, signed in, went back into the background page and it still doesn't show the Blur option. It says I need to have version 5.5.0 and later. Can someone help?
