To support virtual backgrounds, the hardware of a Windows device must meet the following requirements:

• CPU
  1. Sixth-generation Intel Core^TM processors and later models

     The processor model can be identified by the number in the model. For example, the processor model Inter(R) Core(TM) i7-8700 CPU indicates the 8th generation Intel Core^TM processor.

  2. Intel Xeon scalable processors (originally known as Skylake)
  3. Second-generation Intel Xeon scalable processors (formerly known as Cascade Lake)
  4. Third-generation Intel Xeon scalable processors (originally known as Cooper Lake or Ice Lake)
  5. Pentium processors N4200/5, N3350/5, and N3450/5 with Intel core graphics cards
  6. Intel Atom processors that use Streaming SIMD Extensions 4.1 (SSE4.1)
