Not able to blurr background in teams, In Skype no problem at all!
JE_60 OK, if a re-installation of Teams doesn't do it either I am afraid your machine is not meeting the necessary hardware requirements for the backgrounds effect.
How come Skype can do the trick without any problems? If they can do it, the Software-team of Microsoft-teams should be able to incorperate this feature also in the Teams app for most computers out there in the world?? Not just the newer machines??
For the blurr effect I bought this Microsoft-webcam. It was recomended for the perfect compatability with Teams.
Bad advice if you ask me. They never mentioned that there was a limitation to this blurr effect in combination with your computer.
But thanks for your advice.
JE_60 I assume a re-install didn't work either. I hear you and understand the frustration but I'm working within hospital and healthcare with no association to Microsoft. Just in the community trying to assist whenever I can!
ChristianBergstrom Oke, thanks anyway
Hi JE_60 - For some reason Microsoft removed the capability recently if you are running AVX1.0 hardware. I had the same issue with my iMac, it was working until a few weeks ago then found out Teams can only support this feature on AVX2.0. I am unsure why they have continued to support AVX1.0 in Skype, it’s very frustrating!
