We need to custom the interface buttons on Zoom, it’s almost everything done. But we don’t find any video function to disable the user’s video trough this custom button.

We need a function like this below (but for the video):

```
ZoomMtg.mute({
    userId: 16797696,
    mute: true
});

```

There’s a way to make this implementation?

Hi @luckmenez,

The disable video functionality should be included as part of the core functionalities offered out of the box for our Web SDK. There’s not currently a custom function to control this.

However, if you wish to set video on or off for participants beforehand, you can do this programmatically when you create the meeting (using the `participant_video` setting) in our [Create Meeting API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingcreate).

I hope this helps to clarify,  
Will
