Lost Virtual Backgrounds ability unless I use a green screen - Update caused this

So, before I updated the app I had blur and one other and I could use virtual backgrounds without much issue. NOW apparently I have to have a green screen or I blend into the image. AND blur is gone? Why would the update do that?

Hi @rwasher it's been some time since you've posted this! Have you tried updating your Zoom client? Or uninstalled and reinstalled?

I’m having the same issues with 1. virtual backgrounds only available if I select I have a green screen and 2. Background only blends with my image or I’m transparent and 3. the blur option is no longer available to me.
Only started after I updated to the latest version last week. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled. No luck. Please help
