An easy 'solution' to fix the background is to just use a mild blurring tool. They're verifying you not your house, it wouldn't be sus to just have a mild messy blur around you.

The bokeh effect is surprisingly hard to fake, actually, because it has to do with the physical properties of the camera lens. I think with a light Gaussian blur it would be even less convincing.
