To set the background of a button in SwiftUI, you can use the background modifier. Here is a simple example:

Button(action: {
    // Your action here
}) {
    Text("Press me")
}
.background(Color.blue)

This will set the background color of the button to blue. If you want to use an image as the background, you can do something like this:

Button(action: {
    // Your action here
}) {
    Text("Press me")
}
.background(
    Image("backgroundImage")
        .resizable()
        .aspectRatio(contentMode: .fill)
)

In the context of the WWDC sessions, the session "Migrate your TVML app to SwiftUI" discusses how to style buttons in SwiftUI, including using different button styles like the borderless button style and the card button style. This session provides insights into creating interactive buttons with custom backgrounds and effects.

For more detailed customization, you might want to look into the session "Create custom hover effects in visionOS", which covers how to apply various effects to buttons, including background changes and hover effects.
