Hi, I'm an independent contractor meeting with customers every day over Zoom, and I just got a new M1 MacBook Pro as much of my business is done on Mac. However, as I now run parallels since M1 Macs no longer have access to Bootcamp, I'm encountering an issue I never had before. Zoom no longer allows me to have virtual backgrounds up which is a problem as I work from home. It just says, "your devices does not support virtual backgrounds". This doesn't make sense as I can use them just fine when running on the Mac side of things. And yes, I know I run both Mac and Windows simultaneously on it, but it's a lot easier to have them both on the Windows at the same time for what I do. Does anyone know if there anything I can do to fix this problem?
I also would like to have an answer to this, It seems the issue is Parallels presents 2gb of video ram to the OS which does not meet the minimum requirements of Zoom. However I have not found a way to expand the amount of vram presented to the OS to overcome this challenge. You would think Parallels would b all over this but I have not found any info other than people asking for help.
I have the same issue. I need to have a virtual background of the organization on Zoom meetings. I already re-installed Parallels Tools. CPU & Memory: CPU=4, RAM=6GB (up to 3GB for graphics) MacOS Tahoe 26.3.1 Chip Apple M3 Pro -> The Parallels Camera option doesn't show for me, only the HD FaceTime Camera -> I don't own a green screen -> Checking the green screen option on Zoom, looks like garbage -> Not checking the green screen option on Zoom prevents me from selecting the virtual background -> I cannot use Zoom on MacOS, I need it to run on Windows 11 with Parallels. Any updates on this?
