**Description**  
In the macOS SDK, we currently have the ability to set the virtual background programmatically using `ZoomSDKVirtualBackgroundSetting`. We’ve been able to successfully set an image as a virtual background but are currently unable to set a video as a virtual background. When attempting to set a video as a virtual background with:

`ZoomSDKError result = [virtualBackgroundSetting useBGImage:bgImage];`

We get:

`SDKERR_NO_IMPL: 1, // Not support this feature now `.

Do you know when the functionality will be available to add a video as a virtual background here?

**Which version?**  
[v5.0.24433.0616](https://github.com/zoom/zoom-sdk-electron/releases/tag/v5.0.24433.0616)

**Laptop (please complete the following information):**

- Device: MacBook Pro
- OS: macOS Catalina 10.15.6

Hi @johnkeck,

Thanks for the post. Currently, SDK does not support setting up video virtual background with interfaces.

Thanks!

Do you know if the next version of the SDK will support this?
