Hi All,
I've been unable to find a definitive answer to this query from one of our internal customers, though my testing thus far suggests the answer is "No".
Could someone please advise whether it is possible to use virtual backgrounds or blur, when joining a Webex meeting from the browser? (we cannot use the desktop application in our Windows environment). If it is possible, what OS or browser is required to do so?

Yes, it is possible to use virtual backgrounds in Webex Browser. Virtual backgrounds allow you to replace your actual background with a pre-selected image or video during a Webex meeting. This feature, often called "Virtual Backgrounds," allows you to customize your video conference experience and maintain privacy by hiding your physical surroundings.
To use virtual backgrounds in Webex Browser, you can follow these steps:
Please note that the availability of virtual backgrounds may depend on your Webex subscription plan and the version of Webex you are using. Additionally, your device's hardware capabilities may affect the performance and quality of virtual backgrounds during the meeting.

Hi @unclethorntin,
Virtual backgrounds aren't supported on the Meetings web app or on Linux.

In addition to @Roray Stewart‘s response, you’re welcome to submit or upvote an existing enhancement request. Be sure to explain, to the extent appropriate, why you can’t use the Webex executable or VDI plugin; that will undoubtedly be the first rebuttal.
