This is pretty awesome work, but I just wanted to point out that Zoom doesn't actually require a green screen. If you uncheck the "I have a green screen" button, choosing your own virtual background still looks really good, although of course you're not going to get any crazy effects like this script adds.

Depends on your hardware. I have a Win machine, but need a green screen because I don't have the horsepower.

And your software. I have a dual-booting machine, the green screen is required in Linux but not in Windows.

Ah ok, didn't know that.

The article links to [1] and comments on this near the beginning -- as others have mentioned this is not always the case. The Linux client does not offer this functionality, only green screen.

I'm also using this with other apps for fun though (duo, hangouts, etc.)

that's true for the Mac app, but the Linux client doesn't support the non-green-screen option (according to the post)
