There is a certain gallery of backgrounds for Zoom available online. Is it possible to regularly (e.g. once a week) download an image from the gallery, save it to customer’s desktop and set the image as a zoom background? I’m more interested in the ‘set the image as a zoom background’ part. I don’t want the customer to manually change the background, I want to automate it. Background change hopefully won’t take place on video calls Feel free to ask additional questions. ---

Hi @kalesalad, thanks for posting - we agree a Virtual Background API would open up a number of great use cases like this. While we don’t have an exact timeline for this, subscribe to our [Changelog](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/changelog) to stay up to date as we evaluate how & when we can get this on our roadmap. ---
