Why Is Zoom Blurring Parts of Me?

It is possible that you are fuzzy because your camera is out of focus. Consider purchasing an auto-focusing camera if you want to completely eliminate this issue. They are fairly priced and well worth the investment if you participate in video chats on a regular basis. Alternatively, you may re-focus your camera manually; this is often accomplished by turning the ring around the lens.

As an added precaution, make sure your camera lens is clean by immersing a silk or microfiber cloth in isopropyl alcohol and gently cleaning the lens surface.

What Resolution Should My Zoom Background Be to Blur?

With Zoom’s blur backdrop function, everything in the room you’re in during a conversation is blurred except for you, which is why you’re not blurred. If you wish to use a picture as your backdrop, Zoom suggests a resolution of at least 1280 x 720 pixels for the best results.
