  I speak to my sons via Skype (for Win 10). I have a new green screen, and would like to surprise them by pretending to be on a beach when we next talk.
  
  Zoom can chroma key in a beach with waving palm tree and waves. Skype just allows static images.
  
  Is there a free package that would make it easy to get something like Zoom's functionality in Skype? I'd be particularly pleased for a link to step-by-step instructions.
