Hi, I am using the new ‘[Slides as Virtual Background](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/360046912351-Sharing-slides-as-a-Virtual-Background)’ Feature, which is fantastic, but it appears to not be able to play embedded videos. Is this this normal behaviour?

Version: 5.4.7, Mac OS Catalina

1. Share Screen
2. Advanced
3. Slides as Virtual Background
4. Load Powerpoint or Keynote with embedded video files (set to autoplay)

Thanks

Hey @zoom1234,

Thanks for using the dev forum!

Good question! However this forum is only for Zoom SDK Developer questions. The people over at [https://support.zoom.us/](https://support.zoom.us/) should be able to help you out though 🙂

Thanks!  
Michael
