On April 16, between 2:25 P.M. ET and 4:12 P.M. ET, the domain zoom.us was not available due to a server block by GoDaddy Registry. This block was the result of a communication error between Zoom’s domain registrar, Markmonitor, and GoDaddy Registry, which resulted in GoDaddy Registry mistakenly shutting down zoom.us domain. Zoom, Markmonitor, and GoDaddy worked quickly to identify and remove the block, which restored service to the domain zoom.us. There was no product, security or network failure at Zoom during the outage. GoDaddy and Markmonitor are working together to prevent this from happening again.

Rotating Virtual-Background automatically rotates the person in the video

Hey,

If I try to rotate my virtual-background, it automatically rotates my video and I look upside down or 90/270 rotated.
Would it be better to have an option to select to rotate only virtual-background and keep the real person in the video as is? I'm not sure if this is a bug but could be a feature request to consider? Because I don't like to see myself being rotated rather I would like to rotate my virtual-background.

I'm using zoom 5.16.10(668) on Linux.
Steps to reproduce-
1. Open zoom
2. Go to settings

3. Select Virtual Background option

4. Rotate the virtual-background you have & the person in the video also rotates.
Let me know if this how the virtual background feature is designed to work and/or could be improved, thanks.

There is no rotation function for the background. There is only a rotation function for the VIDEO. To rotate the background you need to edit  the image using editing software such as Photoshop then load the edited image in as a new background.
