Hi @dgross1 
It does depend on what tool you are using.
If you are using the media recorder or the conferencing tool (Big Blue Button) built into Canvas then there is no background feature - yet.
If you are using Zoom here a guide for that Virtual Background – Zoom Help Center
Teams backgrounds = https://www.uctoday.com/collaboration/team-collaboration/microsoft-teams-delivers-custom-backgrounds...
I hope that helps.
Sing out if you need a hand.
