[SOLVED] "Configure your browser for visual effects" error on chrome

I am looking to get visual effects (background blur) working in google chrome, on google meet, i have the "configure your browser for visual effects" error message in meet.
Hardware accelleration is toggled on in chrome settings (i.e. it is configured for visual effects).
I have reset all flags in chrome://flags/ and still have the issue, please help - i work from a bedroom!
Following snippet from chrome://gpu/ (I have had to reduce size to fit here).

padBuffersToMaxVertexAttribStride (Vulkan workarounds) anglebug:4428: Disabled: isAMD || isSamsung
Vulkan considers vertex attribute accesses to count up to the last multiple of the stride. This additional access supports AMD's robust buffer access implementation. AMDVLK in particular will return incorrect values when the vertex access extends into the range that would be the stride padding and the buffer is too small. This workaround limits GL_MAX_VERTEX_ATTRIB_STRIDE to a maximum value and pads up every buffer allocation size to be a multiple of the maximum stride.
