**Video SDK for Web. 1.2.7**

**Description**  
I am trying to find if Zoom provides a function in the Video SDK to hide a users own Self View whilst in a call.

For example, if you joined a call, you want other participants in the call to still be able to see you/your video. However you do not wish to see the video stream of yourself in the canvas space for you in either Gallery or Speaker view.

Is this something Zoom provides, or do I need to build a custom function to update the UI and mask/hide the users own video stream.

Thanks

Hey @tom.roper

Thanks for your feedback.

How to display the video layout is up to you. In the Video SDK Web, we provide the `renderVideo` API to draw the video on the canvas. Refer to this [article](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/video/web/essential/video/) to get more information.

Thanks
