Start video with blur not available
Strange... A quick search shows that Surface Go got the Intel Pentium Gold 4415Y processor with AVX2 and since it been working before it should that be hardware related.
Do you have Skype Consumer installed on your computer? That software also uses AVX2 for background blur.
You could try to uninstall Teams and install it again. If that did not work, uninstall Teams then clear cache and then install Teams again.

- Keith_CopelandApr 24, 2020Copper ContributorI have the same problem on my surface go, 8GB model. Will try that out. Any luck from anyone else? Working great on my work Lenovo laptop though.

Keith_CopelandMy background Blur worked and now it does not. Checked and my Processor Xeon E3-1200/2nd supports AVX2. That makes me think that if I was to roll back to an older (Dual Video adapters Intel HD 3000 or NVIDIA 4200 in my case) I might get it to work. Too bad the manufacturers don't make the configuration of this clearer.
- Keith_CopelandOct 09, 2020Copper ContributorDid you have any luck? I hadn't tried in a while, but sure enough Background Blur and custom background images are all working on my Surface Go. I'll assume either updated drivers or Teams app fixed it.

Background blur in Skype for Desktop is also available without AVX2.- Peter_SzaboApr 06, 2020Copper Contributor

I also have blur in the regular Skype (not skype for business) no problem with it.
Within Teams, it's just missing... 😐(CPU is i7-3740QM, VGA is Quadro K3000M, webcam is Logitech Webcam 500)
I wish it'd work on teams too...
