Teletherapy is challenging enough without more layers of uncertainty and change. Like you, I would feel shaken up if my therapist kept changing backgrounds.
I'm not saying it would be a deal-breaker (not by a long shot). I'm just saying that I do understand how you feel.
Here's a thought, though. I have 2 backgrounds that I use when I do teletherapy. One has a picture my T likes behind me, and a book shelf. The other background is plainer, just a grey curtain and a painting on my wall.
The reason I switch up is because I feel bad for my T to see the same background during every session we have. Now I feel weird...maybe my switching scenes disturbs her! It's possible that your therapist is trying to vary the background so you don't have to look at the same image every single time.
That said, his environment invites you into a realm that might feel like boundaries are being tested, or even crossed. I mean, if you see part of a bed...that's really bringing some heavy unconscious (and conscious) material into the session.
