Virtual TV Studio Background

These cost money but i just wanted to pass the idea of maybe a gif picture showing an active newsroom back ground for active hal background .

I've been working on my artificial intelligence system which primarily is to run my house and I've interfaced the Haptek library into it. I have a virtual television screen as a part of the background but cannot get any pictures or video to overlay. The background always ends up on top. But it was the same idea I had, she would read the news or weather from an RSS feed while displaying the picture in the article or a weather map. I've not been successful in the overlay and I've asked some other programmers and they are stumped too but then they aren't as invested in my project as I am.
