I have done everything possible to enable a blurred background and have logged in to my account 12 times now and logged out again each time after enabling Virtual Backgrounds in the In Meeting (Advanced) section.
Each time I go back to my Zoom.us meeting setting on my laptop, no option for a blurred background appears.
So, I log off. Log in to the website, review my settings, check that Virtual Background is enabled and log out. And repeat.
I have watched the "How To" video THREE times now and I have followed each step - beginning to feel like a total idiot.
I have even deleted the app and reinstalled it again - TWICE. Also tried the "support" (joke) Bot and followed its step by step process FOUR times.
One of my contracts insists that I uses Zoom. Definitely prefer Microsoft Teams, but I really have option about using Zoom now.
PLEASE, SOMEONE....HELP!!!! I am honestly at a loss on what to do.

Hi @CathyH2
Are you using the Zoom software application, or connecting via a web browser?
Are you using a Windows PC or an Apple computer - and does it meet the system requirements for Blurred Background/Virtual Backgrounds?
