FaceTime Back Ground With Sequoia

arlier today I downloaded Sequoia. I have a 27" iMac, that is a 2020 model. I am aware that the up coming Intelligence Features will not be offered on my machine since it has an Intel chip. However, I find nothing in any detail that the FaceTime background feature is not offered for my model. When selecting the FaceTime icon in the upper menu bar, I do not get a selection for background as mentioned in several sources. All that appears on my iMac's drop down is "Mic Mode". What am I missing? Does a call have to be in process? Any help would be appreciated. The FaceTime background feature was something I was looking forward.

iMac 27″, macOS 15.0
