No more background blur
Thierry Barthel I actually did some digging - blur does have a technical requirement :
The optional Blur my background video effect requires a processor with Advanced Vector Extensions 2 (AVX2) support. (Taken from here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/hardware-requirements-for-the-teams-app)
My PC that I am facing this issue on has an older CPU that doesn't have AVX2.
Potentially this technical requirement may not have been enforced previously but that may have changed it seems but it explains why i don't have the capability any longer - works fine on my other devices that have this capability.
How about the machine you are working from?
I posted a work around . Control + Shift + P works to Blur background (and also unblur). However I have just checked and although I no longer has Blur Background I do have Background and the first 'screen' is a Blur image. Hope the work around works for you. I worked for 3 out 4 of my colleagues.
That would be hilarious....
Harald Steindl Still not working for me. Continuing to rely on XSplit Vcam, which is not so bad aftrer all (got it via StackSocial, half price).
