Zoom (flatpak) cannot use virtual backgrounds other than default ones

Is there any way I can get around this? I only thought about using this, but it would be nice if there's a less hacky way around it. Cheers!

Show HN: Blur Webcam Background on Linux

I've been using https://github.com/allo-/virtual_webcam_background
There are many others similar to the above. They all basically work by using the v4l2loopback driver to create a loopback video device. Then you have the program consume video from the real webcam video device, apply a deep learning model that subtracts the background and replaces it with an image or video of your choice, and outputs the vide to the loopback device. Then you configure your video conferencing software (zoom, teams, webex, whatever) to use the loopback device instead of the real one.
