Hi, @developer-whova, Happy to help here! Is this issue reproducible with the Web Client or the Zoom Client? Also, can you clarify what you mean by `it does not show the face anymore`? If you could share the exact steps to reproduce and screenshots of the actual result vs. expected result, that would help diagnose what may be happening? I will keep an eye out for your reply. Best, Donte ---

So if you use the virtual background from the Web Meeting SDK Client, it does not shows the face and instead, the virtual background covers the entire thing. 😶 ---

I figured it out the bug is in the JS file of the NPM package, it works when I use the [source.zoom.us](http://source.zoom.us), it is sort of related to that other ticket where the React is undefined I guess, please fix the NPM builds soon. ---
