Can't my mac run Zoom virtual backgrounds ?

Hi


My computer:

MacBook Air (13-inch, 2017)

1,8 GHz Kaksiytiminen Intel Core i5

MacOS BigSur



Is it true:

This means that most modern Macs can run Zoom virtual backgrounds,

but this does not include dual-core, i5 versions of the MacBook and MacBook Air.

True. Your Mac has an Intel i5 dual core, 5th generation processor and thus does not meet the Zoom requirements for virtual background. You'd need a 6th gen dual core, an older quad core would work as well.
