When using a Power Point Presentation as my virtual background the embedded videos and/or animations don't run.

I've verified the videos meet the Zoom requirements and even removed animations to simplify, but still no joy..... any ideas what I'm missing??

Although, the documentation doesn't explicitly state that video is not supported when sharing PowerPoint as a Virtual Background, I believe that to be the case... it's not supported in that mode.

The documentation reads...

Note: Sound, transitions, or animations embedded in slides are not supported.
