Missing Soft Focus and Brightness in Teams

Greetings!

My co-workers have options for Brightness and Soft Focus on their Teams and neither of these appear to be options for me in my Teams video settings. I'm on a Mac Studio with the M1Max chip. Microsoft Teams Version 1.5.00.28558. It was last updated on 11/1/22. Ideas welcome!

    You know I was recently looking into this issue again... after doing tons of searching I found an obscure comment on another person's post that suggested the reason this feature is unavailable is not because it's a mac issue but rather because those camera settings are only available if you have a business license for Office365. It stated that the free version, education licenses, and personal licenses do not offer these settings. Can anyone confirm if that is accurate?

    I also had an O365 business license, so that isn't the cause.

    I have a business license for Microsoft 365, and I do not have soft focus on Teams. I have an M2 MacBook Air.

    I'm on Macbook Pro 2019 (Intel). It has definitely noting to do with the build in camera. I'm working with Zoom as well and there the "touch up my appearance" works fine.
    This is a Teams software flaw, and as with the complete Ms Office suite, fixing Mac issues is obviously not Microsofts priority.
