**Description**  
I am using zoom web sdk 2.9.7. i would like to know if there is a method or option to fill up during ZoomMtg.init() or some other option or method that would allow me to hide self video during zoom meeting. i would like to do it programmatically instead of asking the user to click on view and toggle off the show self video

**Which Web Meeting SDK version?**  
2.9.7

**Meeting SDK Code Snippets**

```auto
 ZoomMtg.init({
      leaveUrl: meetingConfig.leaveUrl,
      // added to disable zoom sharing and other functions
      showMeetingHeader: false,
      disableInvite: true,
      disableCallOut: true,
      disableRecord: true,
      disableJoinAudio: false,
      audioPanelAlwaysOpen: false,

      isSupportCC: false,
      screenShare: false,
      success: function () {}
      error: function () {}
})

```

> @spaceman.developer, Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum. I’m glad to assist you. After reviewing the SDK reference, it appears that there is no function or option available for hiding self-view. However, I’ll verify with our internal team to confirm if this feature is feasible. If it isn’t, could you please provide more information about your use case and explain why this feature is essential to you? This information will be helpful, and I’ll forward it to our internal team …

We kindly request that you only submit a single topic for any issues you are experiencing and keep any response to that thread.
