Using a chroma green backdrop (green screen) when sharing video

I have a chroma green backdrop (a green screen) that I use when using services similar to WebEx. For one in particular, I can use their virtual background and indicate that I am using a green screen.

 

Is that available in WebEx? The use of the green screen with other services greatly improves my image (less drop-out if I turn my head.)

As far as I know, Webex (-Meetings, -Teams etc..) does not (yet?) support chroma-keying.
It does support virtual backgrounds but the software-based estimation (person vs. background) is not as good as a color-based recognition, of course.
You may want to use some additional software which does the "green screen magic" and provides the result in realtime as a virtual webcam.
Google offered me this link for a possible solution using OBS (free software):

other virtual Webcams which seem to offer similar features are ChromaCam, Snap-Camera and XSplit VCam
