Hello @vhomes,
Welcome to the Zoom Community! We're glad to have you here.
If you're using macOS, it's possible that the background was uploaded directly to your computer instead of through Zoom. Once the meeting starts, a green video icon will appear in the top-right corner of your Mac's menu bar. Click the icon and uncheck 'Background' to remove the virtual background.
Let me know if this helps or if you need further assistance.

I have had the exact same issue and it has caused me alot of trouble. The video background is stuck on a single image. ie) instead of having a "none" video background, I have an image. This means I can never show the room or office that I am actually in. I have tried EVERYTHING and Zoom has not been able to resolve the issue at all. I had to eventually cancel my subscription. The problem is that other clients and workplaces use ZOOM and I am stuck with this problem on my main desktop computer (apparently forever).
