Virtual Background stopped working without any reason

The Virtual background feature of Zoom stopped working on my Windows computer 4 weeks ago and I have absolutely no idea why. It was working very well until then. Anyone can help?

Hey There! A couple of things I can recommend:

  1. Have you tried to re-enable the virtual background? Click on your Avatar / Profile Pic (Upper right hand corner of your Zoom client) > Settings > Backgrounds and effects > Select the virtual background of your choice.
  2. It might be that you have an outdated Zoom Client. Check this by Click on your Avatar / Profile Pic (Upper right hand corner of your Zoom client) > Check for Updates > Install the new update.

I hope this helps!

I am having the same issue and have confirmed Virtual background ARE enabled when I login to my account on the web.  Also, I do not see any available updates for my client.  What else could it be?
