The 'blur my background' option' seems to have totally disappeared with the latest software update. Where is it, or has it been discontinued?

Hello @Ernie_S 

If you are using a desktop Zoom client, the blur my background option should be under the Background & Effects tab. If have attached a photo for reference.

If you need further assistance, please let me know.
