After enabling Virtual Backgrounds and uploading my image(s) in the desktop client I receive the same roor message for both images provided by Zoom as well as image(s) that I upload:

“A solid color is required. Green is preferred”.

How do I resolve this issue?

Thank you, Lawrence

Hi @lwilson747,

Thanks for the post and pardon the late response. It seems like you are facing issues with our Zoom client. I really would like to help, but this is out of the scope of what this forum is for(This forum is for Marketplace Apps) and we have no insight to the questions in Zoom client. Please provide feedback to [https://zoom.us/feed](https://zoom.us/feed) or try to contact Zoom client support at [https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/requests/new](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/requests/new)and one of the Zoom experts will be happy to assist you.
