Patch Lady – Teams background needs AVX2
Posted on May 3, 2020 at 19:25 CDT by Susan Bradley • Comment in the ForumsSo if you are using Microsoft teams and for a week or so it supported custom backgrounds and now it doesn’t it’s because Teams now requires AVX2 in order to support the blurred background/custom background feature.
Bottom line AVX2 is a certain newer chipset. You can download CPU-Z to determine if your computer supports it … or not.
I’ve seen the number of green backgrounds you can use for online meetings, but just as important is the security features of each video conferencing platform.
