Hey @venkat,

Thanks for using the dev forum!

Yes, you can disable virtual backgrounds in your account settings by visting Zoom.us and navigating to settings → In Meeting (advanced) → Virtual backgrounds.

Thanks!

Hi @Michael_Condon, Thanks for the update.

  1. Is there any option/SDK method to hide virtual background using Android Zoom SDK programmatically?

  2. Also observed that virtual background option is not available for some mobile devices
    a. OnePlus7 with OS 11 - Showing virtual background option
    b. Realme2 Pro with OS 10 - Not showing virtual background option

So, this option will not be available for all Android versions?

Could you please confirm.

I have identified that by using below setting the virtual background option is not showing
MeetingSettingsHelper. enable720p(true)
But this method is already deprecated.

Thanks.

Hi @venkat,

Unfortunately there is no way to do this programmatically.

Also observed that virtual background option is not available for some mobile devices
a. OnePlus7 with OS 11 - Showing virtual background option
b. Realme2 Pro with OS 10 - Not showing virtual background option

Since the Zoom client has some system requirements for virtual backgrounds, these will also apply to the Meeting SDK. More information can be found here.

I have identified that by using below setting the virtual background option is not showing
MeetingSettingsHelper. enable720p(true)

Currently, virtual backgrounds are not compatible with the 720p setting.

Thanks!
