      Hi @aadesh, thank you for providing your computer specification. The i3-4130 you have is a 4th generation processor (https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/77480/intel-core-i34130-processor-3m-cache-3-40-ghz.html) and we require a 5th generation or high for using a virtual background without a green screen.

       

      You might consider making a green screen or purchasing one from https://thewebaround.com/

      Hello @aadesh,

       

      Please note that there are two different ways of using virtual backgrounds; with a physical green screen and without.  The computer hardware requirements are different for each.

       

      Please review this document with the specific requirements:

      https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/360043484511-Zoom-Virtual-Background-system-requirements

       

      Depending on your system resources, you may not be able to do virtual background without a green screen, but possible with as it requires less cpu.  By "Green Screen" we mean any solid color behind you to over lay the image on.  Greens and Blues work best.  The easiest way to setup a green screen is often just hanging a sheet on the wall.  There are also green screen kits on Amazon as well as some that attached to your chair (www.thewebaround.com).
