Sound of Background video on sessions

I use zoom for meetings with friends. But I have long wondered, about this: Can one place a short normal .mp4/.Mov on the background of the small screens during the meetings, and hear also the sound on the video?
I do not want to share screen or do other movements. Just think it could be fun to, for instance show a video of a forest behind my GreenScreen background and be able to let the other folks hear the sound of the forest shown on the video.
Anyone out there with a comment, tip, etc. ?
Will appreciate

It is somewhat possible all though it may take some creative thinking. You can use focus mode to utilize a template that can show the people and a video with its sound. Since the software will try to key out everyone's background it may not be suitable for those who have poor lighting or cluttered backgrounds.
