Sharing Powerpoint as virtual background

Recently in the share screen settings, the "share powerpoint as virtual background" option is greyed out and has a yellow triangle on the corner of it. I have checked if the virtual background is enabled, (it is). have updated the app on my mac, and have tried to restart, uninstall and reinstall. but to no avail!. Can anyone offer a suggestion???

There is another thread on this.  That feature has been disabled, but Zoom is working on reintroducing it at some point in the future. The only way to do it (and it isn't as good), is to go into the Advanced tab on the Share, and then do 'Portion of screen' as background and you in front. Doesn't work as well and will still have your image at the side as well, but is close to the original feature.
