In a recent paper [1] time dependent density functional theory has been generalized to many-electron systems strongly coupled to quantum electromagnetic modes of a microcavity. Here we construct an approximation for the corresponding exchange-correlation (xc) potential by extending the optimized effective potential (OEP) method to the electron-photon system. The derivation of the OEP equation employing the non-equilibrium Green's function formalism, and the first order approximation for the electronic self-energy is presented. Beyond the mean field level, the electron-photon coupling generates a time non-local photon-mediated interaction between the electrons, whose propagator enters the exchange-like diagram. We further show the approximated xc-potential for a model two-level diatomic molecule with one electron coupled to photon modes. The comparison between the obtained results and the exact numerical ones in the different coupling regimes (from weak up to ultra-strong) is discussed. [1] I.V. Tokatly, Phys. Rev.
