I have a MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2015, 1.6 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5, and I'm getting the error that my device doesn't support Virtual Backgrounds without a green screen. I thought I meet the requirements. Please help.

Hi,  try to check them.

  • Zoom desktop client, 4.6.0 or higher
  • macOS version 10.13 or higher

Cheers!

I have the same MacBook Air specs as above, I have confirmed Zoom desktop client is 5.9.6, macOS version is 10.13.6. I see this on apple forums as well, I think this is a bug in Zoom. Can you please advise? thank you
