I suspect you mean I5 rather than M5.

See the requirements set by Zoom in the following. Note that in addition to the processor, they also have requirements for specific macOS versions. https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/360043484511-System-requirements-for-Virtual-Background#h_1d44b8c6-0031-4c8a-9300-8c1a722ba057
