The current Linux version of the zoom client breaks the virtual background function. The camera works fine, but switching to virtual background either freezes the image or just shows a black screen.
Has anybody observed the same behaviour?

Same here. Actually, I didn't realize it was related to the virtual background before seeing this post, I thought it was a camera issue...

The last version that works for blur and virtual background was 5.9.3 (1911). I have now downgraded, but would rather like to use the newest version with all other patches.
