Virtual background

I have watched maaaaaany videos about creating a virtual background that are not what I am looking for.
I was randomly searching around with OBS, and I happened to find a super simple way to add a virtual background, either simple graded colors, or images. I took something like 2 or 3 clicks to get there. My only problem is that, as oftentimes happens with random searches, I can't remember the way I did it. I didn't install any plug-ins, I have no filters added at all, I didn't add anything in the sources box.
The dialog box that I opened had 7 or 8 graded color options, an image option, and some other option that I can't remember. The feature is the same as what they have for zoom call backgrounds.
I believe that the software is up to date. The versions is v.31.0.0, and I have a 2020 macbook air.

If anybody understands what I am talking about, please let me know how to do this. I'm not looking for the common way found on youtube, that is used
Thanks so much.

For anybody using OBS with MacOS, I just found the most simple, and perhaps the only way to use virtual backgrounds.

At the top of the screen, where the green live camera icon is illuminated, just left click it: Screenshot 2025-03-15 at 6.35.17 PM.pngA small window will open below"

Click the "Background" icon and you will see different options open that you can use - preset color grades, preset images, or your own images:
