Zoom crashes everytime i try adding image for background

Recently my app always crashes whenever I try to add new image for virtual background. I pressed 'Add Image' then my cursor was loading for a while and then the app crashed. If I were in a meeting, it was 'connecting' and then came back in after a while. There was a notification 'Zoom quits unexpectedly' and I failed to add the image. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and getting updates, but it didn't resolve the issue. It is getting frustrating, because I join a lot of meetings with specific virtual background. Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

I have the same problem, since update if I have a background image the camera flickers twice then freezes/crashes. Only happens if I blur or have iomage background.  Please fix this it is preventing me from using the camera!

Had the same issue. I think it has now been resolved in the latest update (5.11.4).
