I am using this api to update virtual background defaults for users . It’s return 204 status API but nothing change. Then I get the account information (using this api: [https://api.zoom.us/v2/accounts/{{accountId}](https://api.zoom.us/v2/accounts/%7B%7BaccountId%7D)}/settings ), it’s still set {“is\_default”:false}. Please help me
