I'm hoping that MS did this to quickly get their fancier background processing out the door to better compete with Zoom, and that they'll eventually add AVX 1.0 machines back into the mix in a subsequent version as they get more time. Question: Q: Unable to use virtual background on Zoom with MacBook Air More Less.


Smells like lazy developers.Īt the very least, MS should still support Background Blur on AVX 1.0 machines, and leave the fancier background images to AVX 2.0, even though I don't see that as necessary. The question is why AVX 2.0 is even needed.Zoom and many other developers do this on a wide range of machines without limiting it to newer processors, and MS previously support Background Blur on these AVX 1.0 machines (like previous-generation Mac Pros). You must use sysctl - a | grep avx and look at the hw.optional.avx2_0 line to see if it's supported or not. That command returns only "AVX1.0", even if the CPU supports AVX 2.0. As the command sysctl -a | grep is not sufficient to check a given Mac's ability to support AVX 2.0. Zoom is the leader in modern enterprise video communications, with an easy, reliable cloud platform for video and audio conferencing, chat, and webinars across mobile, desktop, and room systems.
