Recently, in the IGEL Community, Lars Glöckner, Senior Solutions Architect EMEA at IGEL, posted a tech-tip on configuring Zoom virtual backgrounds on IGEL OS.
Worth reading:
Make Zoom Virtual Background on Linux available with Citrix, VMware Horizon, and AVD (WVD) when you don't have the supported hardware in place.
There is a new article on Zoom online: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/4414459007757 - thanks to @Sven for bringing this to my attention.
I have built a workaround to make this feature possible on IGEL OS, but you need to configure that for your solution like this:
The main file, which is every time available, is this one:
etc/zoomvdi/ZoomMedia.ini
The other ones are only there when the Zoom Plugin is enabled in the section of the solution for Citrix, VMware Horizon, and AVD (WVD).
Zoom with Custom Partition:
sed -i "s/SMARTVB=.*/SMARTVB=1/g" /etc/zoomvdi/ZoomMedia.ini
Zoom on Citrix:
sed -i "s/SMARTVB=.*/SMARTVB=1/g" /etc/zoomvdi/citrix/ZoomMedia.ini
Zoom on Horizon:
sed -i "s/SMARTVB=.*/SMARTVB=1/g" /etc/zoomvdi/vmware/ZoomMediaVmware.ini
Zoom on AVD or WVD:
sed -i "s/SMARTVB=.*/SMARTVB=1/g" /etc/zoomvdi/wvd/
