**Description**  
Zoom Virtual Background: is there a way to have computer display capture in the background rather than having a video or image in the background? This feature would be really useful for educators, who want to have their Teaching materials (Powerpoint, videos, or others) in the background, and still have control over it. Right now, educators are forced to use screen share, which doesn’t have the virtual background immersive effect.

OBS fed into Zoom can do this, but there’s lag in the feed into Zoom. Is there a Zoom based Virtual Background solution?

**Which version?**  
v4.6.4

**To Reproduce(If applicable)**  
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to ‘Settings’
2. Click on ‘Virtual Background’
3. Find ‘Choose Virtual Background’  
No way to add Display Capture
