Thank You Redd9 - I have a need to change the background for a video that I'm making - if I was using windows it would not be a problem - but I recently switched to Linux and find that, on the face of it, it appears very limited on more advanced software.
Thank you very much for your input - but Team (which I was not aware could be used on Linux, so thank you for that!) and Zoom are "chat" platforms, whereby my need is more "editing".
OK, I understand. What about using Natron? Cheese also has some special effects for changing the video but I'm not sure if there are any specifically for changing how the background looks.

Incorrect; it has just as much (or more) available, but often times the Windows/Mac software you're used to won't run.

You need to investigate OBS Studio...cross-platform, supports chroma-key, virtual backgrounds, streaming, multi-channel editing, etc.
