Dear Team ,
I am using the latest Teams app in my windows 10 laptop. During the meeting for the video I am unable to get the background setting to select a background for my video. Request your help .
Thanks

It may be your CPU, background blur requires AVX2, (Haswell or newer chip (2013) )

The blur function works just fine.
I am having the same problem. I have the most up-to-date version of Teams (windows 10 desktop app), and am using a new Lenovo X1 Carbon laptop. I can see the blur background option, but I do not see Background effects and the background images folder does not appear in my appdata location. I tried to manually create the background and imports folders but this did not enable the background effects feature.
Does anyone know why this is happening to only some PCs/laptops? Has anyone been able to find a workaround for this issue?

I also have this issue. Desktop app on MacBook Pro downloaded today. My colleagues on similar machines have this option. Given the current situation this function is not just a luxury - it's a necessity.
