I have a Desktop HP - AMD Ryzen 3-Series - 8GB Memory - 256GB Solid State Drive. Can I change the processor or something so it is compatible with Zoom virtual backgrounds? What computers are compatible with Zoom virtual backgrounds - I see Zooms requirements, they need 3rd generation i5 processor with 2 cores, but how do I know what computers have these?

You can't swap from an AMD CPU to an Intel i5 without essentially buying a new computer.

minimum specs required to run Zoom is a single core 1ghz CPU.
recommended is Dual core 2ghz

What CPU do you have? Ryzen 3 series doesn't tell me enough really.

can you search for the System information application
in the row labelled Processor it should show you the name of the CPU

Zoom Virtual backgrounds are built into the program.

R3 should be a four core

I don't know if I have a four core.
I find Zoom so hard to work with because when buying a computer their requirements are not easily found or labeled to know what computer to buy. Had I known a few years ago I would have bought a different desktop or laptop.
Thank you for your response.
