Paste this into a Run window or File Explorer. Then go to (or create if it's not there) the uploads folder.
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Teams\Backgrounds

  Thanks, but as I previously mentioned, the PCs I have use 8th generation Core i5 and i7 (Kabylake) AVX2 was definitely a feature of these CPUs.

    HIPRM - yeah, those processors should be good. This other thread shows you are not alone in seeing similar Teams flaky/unexpected behavior... - https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-teams/start-video-with-blur-not-available/m-p/1173656
    
    Some ideas out of left field....
    - I've read where AVX can use more power, so maybe check power saver settings.
    - Maybe add-in graphics cards could affect behavior
    
    Perhaps just wait it out, since these are fairly new features - as MS reacts to enterprise customers complaints it might just start working for you later....
