**Description**  
I would like to create a floating video view after meeting is in progress and when some other condition is met. When I call switchFloatVideoToActiveSpeakerMode(), the result is ZoomSDKError\_ServiceFailed. Is that because this does not work with custom UI? Is it possible to use this when I’m using a customized UI?

Thank you very much!

**Which Client macOS SDK version?**  
v5.4.54802.0124

**Additional context**  
Here’s the code inside case `ZoomSDKMeetingStatus_InMeeting` for MeetingStatusMgr.

```auto
   let meetingService = ZoomSDK.shared()?.getMeetingService()
   let UIController = meetingService?.getMeetingUIController()
   let ret = UIController?.switchFloatVideoToActiveSpeakerMode()

```

Hi @m.zhang, thanks for the post.

This method is meant for use with the default Zoom UI only. In a custom UI, you can define the UI however you would like, so the SDK cannot account for the potential variances in all possible meeting UI implementations.

Thanks!
