Green Screen not working

When I choose a virtual  background image, Zoom tells me I should use a green screen (the image does work without the green screen box ticked off, but the edges are floaty). When I tick the "I have a green screen" box, the image shows up on everything BUT the green screen! My computer is new and way more current than my old laptop (where the green screen worked just fine). Why would my image NOT show on the green screen but everywhere else???  I have tried multiple cameras (I have 3) and same thing - no image shows up wherever the green screen is visible. GRRRRR!

Yep, me, too.  Frustrating.  Why buy the screen if Zoom lied? When I used a bunch of green poster paper and taped it up ghetto style, it worked. Now that I have the fancy green screen, the background remains green, but my glasses, my beard, my teeth, my shirt collar -- all virtual background.  I must say, my glasses are rather fascinating as a meadow...
