Re: Blur Background on Mac OS
ericsarSo you are in the same boat as the rest of us with 2013 era Macbooks. There is no Avx2.0 so Microsoft disabled all bluring and background features. There has been no resolution to my knowledge.

Re: Blur Background on Mac OS
Grandswiss Thanks for further confirmation that AVX2.0 is the discriminator. Now if only we can get someone at Microsoft to discuss why they changed the code to require it when blur worked fine on AVX1.0 devices on the previous version of Teams.

Re: Blur Background on Mac OS
Doug and I likely have similar vintage (early 2013) macbooks that do not support AVX2. The output of `sysctl -a | grep machdep.cpu.features` is identical to what he posted earlier. I reinstalled Teams on 4/16 without any change. The strange thing is that the background blur used to work and now it does not. If it never worked then I could accept the reason being the lack of AVX2.0 support.

Re: Blur Background on Mac OS
Matu_ So it is working for you now? It was not working in your 4-1-20 message -- right? Would you mind sharing the output for the following terminal command? sysctl -a | grep machdep.cpu.features

Re: Blur Background on Mac OS
manoelguedes I see the same thing on my 2013 Macbook Air. The blur feature in Teams was present and worked a couple weeks ago but it disappeared after an update. Looks like Microsoft chose to disable it if you only have AVX1.0.
