Background blur is not working for me on 2011 iMac with High Sierra and Teams v1.3.00.8663, but is working on new MBP 16 with Catalina and Teams v1.3.00.4460. Tried to download newer version of Teams on iMac, but can't seem to find it.

I've found that this feature works only on computers equipped with Advanced Vector Extension 2 (AVX2) graphics.

I dont't have the background blur option for my team 1.3.00.8663 on my macOS High Sierra 10.13.6.
I've try to update Team and it says I'm running with the latest version.
Does this feature is platform dependent ? -

Is it dependent on hardware capabilities? I mean my Thunderbolt Display would be able to do it? because as of today April 15 / 2020 isn't available.
MAC 10.15.1
Teams just downloaded 1.00.30446 -

The same here, for a few days last month I could apply the blur, but the funny pictures that the windows version offers wasn't available back then. Now both are gone.
macOS High Sierra Version 10.13.6 -

I have a Mackbook Air and the blur background works fine on it. I also have an IMac but there is no option for blur background. Why? Both running Catalina.
