Background effects in teams not working unless signed in

If I sign into Teams using my personal account, background effects work fine. However work policy doesn't allow me to sign into my work account from my home pc, so I access meetings as guest not sign...

So why did background affects on the browser work fine for all of 2021 then suddenly not work around April this year.?

It's not a new feature, it worked great when it worked. The option is there it's just great out now.

I have no idea really, perhaps they needed to fix some performance issues or similar.

    ChristianJBergstrom IDK... this is insane.  Waiting 9+ months for resolution.  Microsoft is MIA.

    I also deal with Google Workspaces.  I have an issue with workspaces and their tech is all over it - half the time we get a call from the lead developer looking for more info.  THIS is insane that MS thinks people want to use their Teams product and can't use or blur their backgrounds.   Routing all my customers to Google Meet or Zoom at this point.  My customers don't want to use Teams for meetings when their customer's can't blur out their backgrounds - they don't like that.  MS has left us no option at this point by focusing on new features rather than fixing fundamentals. 

     

    This and the fact that teams doesn't work in Chrome browser on Andriod.  Why?  ...No one else has this problem.
