A month after Zoom launched its much-request blurred background feature on Feb. If you've had problems getting it to work, you might be wondering: Why can't I blur my Zoom background — and is it a simple fix?

Here's a checklist that might explain where you're having problems. ICYMI, Zoom launched the ability to simply blur everything in the background of your screen with the tap of a button, which can save you the time of trying to upload an image to hide your IRL background.

Here's what you should do to get started using the super handy feature. First things first, you want to make sure you're looking for it in the right place on your laptop's Zoom Client. To find the blur option , you'll want to open Zoom and tap the Settings icon located at the top right corner.

From there, a sidebar will pop up on the left with the option to go to "Backgrounds and Filters. Tap it to activate a blur effect on your background. If you're not seeing a blur option, you'll need to make sure your computer system is up to date and supports the update. The blur feature is part of Zoom's latest Client version, meaning you need to download at least Zoom Client version 5. To check to see if you need to update, you'll want to tap on your profile picture located at the top right corner of your Zoom Desktop Client, then scroll down and tap where it says "Check For Updates.

If you've downloaded the most recent update and it's still not working, restart your computer and open Zoom again to see if it shows up. Unfortunately, if none of the above steps work, it might be because your computer doesn't meet the Client and processor requirements.

The ability to use a virtual background without a green screen — and to use the blur feature — requires different supported processors for macOS and Windows. You can find them all on the Zoom help page for virtual background requirements. One easy way to check if your computer's CPU is high enough is to head to "Backgrounds and Filters" and uncheck the box that says "I have a green screen" under "Virtual Backgrounds.

If you get an error message that says that you need a green screen to support virtual backgrounds, your computer doesn't support the blur background feature. Unfortunately, Zoom hasn't said whether it plans to extend its native blur feature to older computer models in the future, but you might need to go the old-school route of using a third-party app to get the blur effect if none of these fixes work.

I hope this helps! 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.

I can understand what I'm missing and it's a little annoying. I have the same Macbook Air Intel Core i5 2 cores I have downloaded new app and new apple software and still no luck. Any suggestions Zoom? Is this not supported? Zoom client version 5. Ah I'm not alone! Same, other virtual background all work but I have no "blur" option! Everything is updated! I also have a Mac Air with 1. Same problem with a macbook pro, everything is updated macOs Monterey I'm facing the same.

I have a Dell - Windows 11Pro. Same problem with a Macbook Air, everything is updated macOs Monterey I am also looking for this feature in my PC because I feel much awkward to show the background of my room so just looking to hide it a little more please help me to do it.

Hi ajaypande jdott16 is correct you must have those device specifications. 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.

RonM Observer. I'm not able to activate Blur Background on my new laptop. I have downloaded Zoom version 5. If so, perhaps my chip is the limitation?
