On April 16, between 2:25 P.M. ET and 4:12 P.M. ET, the domain zoom.us was not available due to a server block by GoDaddy Registry. This block was the result of a communication error between Zoom’s domain registrar, Markmonitor, and GoDaddy Registry, which resulted in GoDaddy Registry mistakenly shutting down zoom.us domain. Zoom, Markmonitor, and GoDaddy worked quickly to identify and remove the block, which restored service to the domain zoom.us. There was no product, security or network failure at Zoom during the outage. GoDaddy and Markmonitor are working together to prevent this from happening again.

 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!

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!

Why on earth would you remove this valuable feature? How can we rely on technology that REMOVES functionality we rely on?

You could use one of overlay options, that are available when screen sharing:

This will give you similar effect, since you can share full-screen presentation and place your video on top of it.
Works best with 2 displays connected.
