I think this meets the specifications, but still no blur option on my Mac Air. This is not user friendly at all.
I don’t have blur and have the latest Zoom and latest MAC software update. I even restarted the program and nothing. There is no blur. I cannot believe this fiasco! So many having the same issue as me and not a peep out of Zoom who has been touting their newest feature which doesn’t work!
I screwed around for half an hour on my Windows 10 bit machine, and all of a sudden, a pop-up, I installed it, and there it was! But I have no idea what I did to invoke it. Thereafter, I have been trying to find this patch, to no avail.. Time to move on to some other software. I as well am not able to see a blur option on my virtual backgrounds menu on my laptop.
I have updated Zoom to version 5. Would greatly appreciate any help which could be provided. Same problem I have downloaded what seems to be the latest version, as no download came with the Pro upgrade. Called support but apparently Pro doesn’t include technical support. Extremely frustrated You do not need to have a pro account to use «blur background». I see that no comment here has been accepted as a solution for this, so I thought I would weigh in!
If you cannot turn off the green screen option for virtual background, then your computer will not be compatible with the blur background feature. It is however an excellent starting point, and if your hardware is lower than the minimums listed here you will not be able to use «blur background» or «virtual background without a green screen». Thanks Micah! I do see now the blur option requires a processor of i5 or above and mine is just i3.
I don’t know why I didn’t notice that requirement earlier. Anyway, at least I have the explanation now. The processor being an i5 is only half the story, just as important is how old the processor is, how many cores the processor has, and what GPU is paired with it.
If the blur background feature is missing from Zoom, the most likely reason for it aside from needing a software update is that your computer isn’t new enough or powerful enough for it. I currently have the same issue. No option to blur my background. And Yes I meet all the requirements to blur my background. I do not even have an option key to blur it, so this shows me it is an issue on Zoom’s end.

Was this an upgrade – did the same machine previously have Windows 10 and work with Virtual Backgrounds? Otherwise, does the computer itself meet the minimum system requirements for Virtual Backgrounds?
With tongue in cheek I pointed out that Teams has no trouble at all in using backgrounds on my Windows 11 machine. I suggested that the solution was to use Teams instead of Zoom, in the hope that the Zoom writers would spring into some sort of action. The forum lads have revised the log-in process, but there is still no hope on backgrounds! It is now December. I just updated windows to Windows 11, from Windows 10 – in Windows 10 Background ran perfectly.
All of a sudden, today, after the update – ZOOM is telling me that my machine does not support background. I am a paying zoom customer and now I cannot use background because of Zoom is not on it, and I have a presentation to do on the 21st of December. Great, Zoom. Now I think it’s time I ask for a refund and move to a different video platform.
This is BS. That’s good information that it was working before. I had not tested that before updating a new machine to W So it might be that the only ‘fix’ that Zoom needs to make is in the condition for deploying the code that intelligently separates the presenter from the background. Clicking ‘I have a green screen’ clearly disables that code, leaving a mixed clutter of background image and room features.
So Zoom could cease to disable that feature just because a mix of hardware and OS does not match a particular recipe, instead just displaying a message that it is at the user’s own risk. Do you know I how can down load Zoom to the new Windows 10 edge based search engine, the search engine will not let me down load zoom period, and I do not know how to find a workaround.
The official Windows 11 release date is October 5, – so you may not see any specific documentation until then. First I must point out a major fault in this forum. When I opened the notification there was no prompt to sign in, so I thought that that was automatic.
I wrote a long, and I hope helpful reply, and submitted it. I was taken to the login page, logged in, and that reply was lost. The installation was prompted by launching a session.
The filename seemed cryptic, so I hoped that your linked installer would solve the problem. It did not. Members of the ‘Windows Insider’ scheme have been able to install W11 before the release date. This is a cunning way to iron out any final bugs, using the help of those curious to see what comes next. Unless you have your new version that recognises W11 ready before that due date, there will be a clamour from those who have upgraded.
Maybe you would like to post a link to it here for the community to test. Can you confirm that you computer meets the actual hardware requirements for Virtual Backgrounds. Can you confirm that Zoom is otherwise working on your computer, other than Virtual Backgrounds?
I know at least one person running Zoom on Windows 11 – but I know they would not have been using Virtual Backgrounds. The OS was updated from W10 within a couple of days of purchasing. I have not yet noticed any other problems, having used Zoom for several meetings in the last couple of days. I Wanted to know if it worked with the Pentium Gold as I’m looking to buy a laptop with this processor?
My Laptop is a brand new one with the W11 update. Is just zoom, the one giving me the background issue. Other than that, works fine. Please, help us on this! I need to use the background for work. Thank you Rupert.
I too could not use the virtual backgrounds but I installed Zoom again using the link you provided for the 64 bit and now I am in Zoom virtual background la la land!
Thank you so much for providing the link. I am still convinced that somewhere in the code is a table of acceptable operating systems – and W11 is not among them! Since this machine was able to jump Microsoft’s high hurdle to install W11, I am sure that it is not deficient. After installing the linked version and finding that backgrounds were still unsupported, I checked for updates.
That version was 5. I hoped that Mepemep’s success was because Zoom had slipped in a sly fix, but I was disappointed. I downloaded from the link provided and I was able to participate in my meeting successfully with a selected virtual background.
As I was closing down the app I checked to see what version I was on and I noticed that there was an update available. I updated to 5.
Yes, I am running Windows I also am a Tech professional so I know my stuff. Zoom is working perfectly for me. Sorry that you don’t have the same experience. Help me! What did you do to get a virtual background to work on Windows 11? I was in touch with Zoom just today and they said Windows 11 does not support a virtual background and I should «work around» on another machine.

Hello ajaypande. I have a 2-yr-old Macbook Air intel based and another much older PC laptop. The blur option is available in the latter and I can’t get it on the Macbook no matter what I do.
