Blurred background

[Erikos]

My iPad Zoom background is blurred even the virtual background is selected “None”.

I’ve tried to log out and also delete & reinstalled the Zoom but the background is still blurred.  

I didn’t change the setting.  Please help !

Hello,

 On the new versions of MacOS, Apple has added a new Video Effects (Change video effects for FaceTime calls on Mac ). Try to turn off the Video Effects mode while using Zoom. The blurred background effect should then be removed.

If this resolves your issue please mark this reply as an accepted solution.

Thank you so much for this solution.  We have a logi ConferenceCam which was unusable because of this setting; and it is now fixed!!  Thankyou!!

Please help - I'm using Zoom on Windows 11 and I still have this issue (constant blurred background).  I do not see anywhere where one can "turn off video effects."  I have my NONE highlighted and selected on virtual background.  Is there somewhere else where I can turn off/disable all video effects?  I find it nowhere.  My background remains blurred and it's annoying because I go in and out of focus during my entire meeting.  Help, thank you!

I am using a PC (Lenovo laptop).  So the Community Champion's suggestion doesn't work for me.  BUT... I did find a solution, and it's a weird one:  plug in an external video cam and the problem goes away.  WHY??  No idea.  But that was the only fix.  So strange, unexplainable.  Give it a try.  Nothing else worked, and nobody could help me.
