Creating a Zoom App that should overlay the user’s camera with a lower-third. The plan was to render this using Camera Mode, with `drawParticipant` to render the user and `renderWebView` to render the lower third. This is how it’s done in the example app.

However when you `drawParticipant` it’s their raw camera feed (unless I’m very must mistaken) rather than implementing any of their preferences like a virtual background and camera flipping.

**Is there any way to `drawParticipant` so that it draws the participant using their preferences, or a different way to layer a lower third that doesn’t mess with the usual video feed?**

_I am aware that if they’re flipping their view, as most do, then a lower third would also be flipped in the preview. Ideally there would be a method that would render differently on the user’s preview versus that which is broadcast, but I suspect I am asking too much_
