Green screens work best, but it can be any plain colour. A plain white wall
as your background works fine for most people.

I usually found the kits to be overpriced. Easier and cheaper to buy the
frame and fabric separately.

This is the frame I bought
<https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B011TY0YII/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00>,
still in stock at the online bookstore.

The green backdrop is what seems to be out of stock locally, but is
available offshore if you don't mind the wait
<https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32810278954.html>.

As for potential backgrounds, they're everywhere now. A search on "zoom
backgrounds" yields lots of choice.
