Zoom won't let me do a virtual background

[closetohumping 17354]

On my work computer.  I have had the computer for two months.  All of a sudden, virtual background does not work.  Is it a memory issue?  Do I have a virus?  It's an HP Omnibook, pretty new brand.  Maybe that's the mistake.

I would assume that your employer is locking down backgrounds.

Definitely let IT know, and while you're at it, ask them to change your green/yellow Teams idle to 90 minutes.

There is no IT.

Virtual background worked before on this laptop?

Money well spent.

When was the last time you updated your Zoom client?  Sometimes features stop working on older clients and update is needed.
