I am not sure if the blurred background is one of them, and I am not able to test to see if that is the case. Has anyone figured this out?

There is no blur option in either my desktop app or going to the zoom desktop site however, when I tried the app on my iPhone, my background is blurred! I have no idea how that happened and how to make this happen on my Mac which is where I really need it.

I have been trying to get the blur option to work on my MacBook as well. Zoom is working with them to address the issues, so if this is the case, hopefully they will be resolved soon.

I used to have the blur option but now it has dissapeared even though I am using the same computer: MacBookAir with macOS Monterey version And I’m using the latest version of zoom: version 5. It appears you cannot select a background without selecting ‘I have a Green Screen’ which is an indication the processor is too old.
