Hi ! I I have 2 questions that need to be answered : Question 1 : Does it possible to change user’s virtual background image using API ? Question 2 : Does the web client SDK currently support changing the virtual background? If it’s not, Do you have plans to implement this method ? ---

Hey @vo.duy.nghia, Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum. We don’t have an API or SDK function to change the virtual background of a user. This will be available in a future feature called [Zoom Apps](https://zoom.us/docs/en-us/zoom-apps.html). If you would like to see this via the API or SDK, I recommend posting in the #feature-requests category. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Max ---

Thanks for your answer ! I have a case like this, please help me with the solution. - I have a system consisting of 2 components: Admin and Customer. - Admin will create a room meeting by zoom and sending information of room for Customer join. - Admin join meeting by browser ( Web SDK Client ) , Customer join meeting by App Zoom. - For Admin, they only open the camera without the virtual background. > - So I have 1 question as follows 🥰 : How can the Admin open the Camera with virtual background for the customer to see ? Thanks \<3 ---

Hey @vo.duy.nghia, Got it, thanks for letting me know. When it comes to the [Web SDK](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/web#zoom-web-sdk), we don’t currently support Virtual Backgrounds. If you would like this feature to be considered for a future release, I recommend posting in the #feature-requests category. Thanks, Max ---
