How to Blur Background Zoom on Laptops and Macbooks
Before blurring the Zoom background during a meeting, make sure the Zoom application you are using has been updated to the latest version so that it supports the various features offered.
If not, you can update it first on the official Zoom website. After that, you can open the updated Zoom app and sign in with your email account.
Next, you will be taken to the main Zoom Meeting page, after that select the settings menu or "Settings" in the lower right corner of your device screen.
A number of menus will appear that you can choose from, and the user can select the "Background & Filters" menu, then select the "Blur" effect. After you select the effect, the background will appear blurry.
Users can check whether the display background or the Zoom background that you are using is blurry, by turning on the video and enabling background preview.

If your Zoom Meeting background is blurred, users can enter one of the ongoing meeting rooms. Later, other participants will not be able to see the background of your video after enabling the blur effect.
This way, other participants can't see the details of the background you're using and your position, thus making privacy more secure.
This is the way to make the Zoom background blur during a meeting, so that other people can't see the location around you clearly.
