Supplemental:  I just downloaded their desktop application (RPM file on
CentOS, so Fedora's probably more advanced).  In there there's a
virtual background configuration option, and the background colour is
selectable (you click on the background in the preview from your webcam
video).

Currently, I'm in a room with pale yellow/cream walls and it's sort of
working, mistaking some skin tone.  If I was in a room with different
coloured walls it'd work better.  I do have green walls in a room with
a Fedora installation, so I'll try that out shortly.

So, a green "screen" isn't required.  But you really want a flat
coloured wall behind you.  I work in video production, and for those
unfamiliar with chromakeying, or colour separation overlay (CSO), bold
primary or secondary colours are best (red, green, blue, yellow, cyan,
magenta), and you're better using colours opposite to skin tone (green,
blue, cyan being the most opposite).
