 I'm having the same problem and can't seem to find an answer at any resource.  Have you had any luck in solving this?  If yes, please share.  Thanks

Following.  The same problem, and the only suggestion is a Zoom app upgrade.  I am already using the most recent released app update (6.3.6).  I have been using this feature for classes, so I definitely need a solution ASAP.

Hello Community Members,

We’ve heard from many of you in the Community expressing interest in the return of the “Slides as Virtual Background” feature. We truly value your feedback and want to reassure you that our engineers are actively evaluating the possibility of bringing it back. However, at this moment, we do not have a confirmed timeline for when or if the feature will be reintroduced.

We’ll keep you posted in this thread slides as virtual background as we have more information.

Thank you for your continued support and patience!

Have you heard of Zoom AI Companion?

So this feature is no longer available???   It was essential to my virtual language learning courses!  Wow!  It is the main reason why I purchased the Pro version of this software.  If they will not be reintroducing it, I will have to find another platform to use.  And I have just invested in the Zoom Scheduler features as well!  This is very disappointing!
