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?
Trevor_Page Looking closely to the https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/65523/intel-core-i7-3770k-processor-8m-cache-up-to-3-90-ghz.html of my i7-3770k it only support AVX and not the AVX2.
So I will need to replace my CPU, motherboard and RAM to blur my background..... 
Do you think there is a way to find a workaround to this silly limitation ?
Could the other in trouble confirm if your CPU is AVX2 compatible ?
Thierry BarthelI also have an old i7 and only supporting AVX. Strange thing that enforcing this AVX2 started a couple days ago. I tried an old team desktop version, but the same result, no blur any more.
