New M1 Macbook Air using Virtual Backgrounds on Zoom

I just got my new M1 Macbook Air a few days ago and discovered an issue with using Zoom via Chrome Browser which is that I get a message saying that it's not supported then usually crashes. However, if I use Zoom direct from the zoom app I can use virtual backgrounds just fine. I also tested it using a zoom meeting link through Safari and it seems to work as well. It just seems to be in conjunction with Chrome. I had read some other posts saying the new MacBooks couldn't use the Zoom virtual backgrounds but it does work for me as long as I start direct from Zoom and not going through Chrome.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.1
