[Solved] Why can't I see the Gnome Background Apps in Gnome menu?

I see lots of Gnome videos on YouTube, there is a Background Apps in Gnome menu, but I can't see it in Arch Gnome.

Apps need to use portals, specifically https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-p … background. Usually, that means sandboxed apps, such as Flatpak's.

I have installed the flatpak version of qBittorrent, but I can only close the window instead of hiding it in background apps.
