How to use a virtual background on Zoom without the minimal requirements - Virtual Office

Many people who use Zoom are disappointed by the fact that they can't use a virtual background since their system is not supported by Zoom.

This guide is written based on a Macbook air 2013 who's system isn't supported by Zoom.

When trying to use a virtual background on Zoom - this is the picture I got.
