Virtual Background behind player when Roll20 video is being used

This would be an optional Roll20 video feature where the user would be able to choose to have a  Virtual Background  behind themselves while using Roll20 video.  That background could be a solid color, or it could be any image the player wanted. The benefits are: To obscure an environment behind the player that is busy and/or distracting.  Increase immersion, as players are able to choose images related to their character or the game they're playing. Increase comfort for the player whose Significant-Other or kids really don't want to inadvertently be in the Roll20 video feed. I recommend Roll20 Devs check out this feature in Zoom when you get a chance to see exactly what I'm talking about.  In my experience, once gamers know they can have a virtual background - they all do, and the background they choose will be related to the game they're playing.  I would assert that this would be a  heavily  used feature. Here's an example of what a player would look like to their fellow players, while sitting in their  disastrously  messy bedroom gaming on Roll20 and using it's new Virtual Background feature: Cheers
