How to Blur Background in Zoom (Not Available)

Are you tired of distractions in the background during video conferences? If you're using an older version of the Zoom app and don't see the 'Blur' option, this guide will help you update your software and enable background blurring. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to blur your background in Zoom.

To get started, first, check if your Zoom app is up-to-date. If you need a newer version, Zoom will automatically download and install it. On a Mac, you can also go to the pull-down menu at the top of your computer screen and select 'Check for Updates.' For Windows users, click on your picture in the upper right corner of the Zoom app and select 'Check for Updates.'

If you don't see 'Blur' as an option after updating, it's likely that you have an older version of the Zoom app installed. In this case, you can update to the latest copy of Zoom, which has 'Blur' as the second Virtual Background option.

To blur your real background and keep the focus on you, follow these steps:

1. Open the Zoom app and click on your picture in the upper right corner.

2. Select 'Check for Updates' to ensure that you have the latest version.

3. Click on the plus sign (+) to upload your own image or choose from Zoom's vast library of free backgrounds.

4. Press the Start Video button at the bottom left of the screen to enable your camera.

Once you've updated and set up your virtual background, you'll be able to blur out any distractions in the background. With this simple process, you can ensure that your video conferences are distraction-free and focused on the conversation at hand.
