...teachers are apparently embarrassed about the room that they are teaching from...

Oh. what a crock! They can do what the Instagrammers do, go to apartmenttherapy or a similar site and cull a bunch of tips for transforming a corner or an alcove or a closet into an office, complete with backdrop.
Put up a large white board behind the teacher’s chair and fill it with instructions and graphics. Place a large fake plant about 3/4 of the way out of range in front of the desk corner. That establishes depth, gives the students a couple of things to focus on (at least one germane to the lesson) and shields the teacher’s home from view.
Teach can go to any one of a number of YT vids outlining how to use make up for cameras. Another few minutes and a few dollars.
Teachers love large, seasonal brooches. Good distraction if they don’t think they televise well. Make them part of the art/craft sessions.
I bet for $50, it would transmit perfectly well.
They could get paid for an internet upgrade for increased upload fees. They should be required to submit their ISP bill, monthly.
Well, I didn’t say it would be a LOT. Teachers are supposed to be creative, right?
