Virtual Set background separate from foreground (cameras) - "zooming" in on the callers, but the background layer needs to stay put

Hello! So Virtual Set is super cool with callers and the ability to "zoom" into them is great, however, the background zooming all together with the caller ruins this effect. I even tried hacking this by setting my background layer to green and then trying to key it - nothing. Then I created a virtual input of this Virtual Set (trying to marry the layers), but not able to key.

I think technically this should be simple. Use case: moving background (TV NEWS) and the two callers are overlayed...using Virtual Set to zoom when people speak is fancy, but the background is an approved asset and I do NOT want that zooming with the caller. It cheapens the effect to zoom all at once.

Please help!
Thanks
Tom
