How do I change the automated background texture?

As you can see the nodes displayed are not image background texture. So how do I access the automated texture to put an hdri image I choose or simply change the background color.
Blender 3.0

Add an Environment Texture, plug it into the Color input of the Background node. Add your HDRI to the Environment Texture

I tried but all the add node functions are greyed out and don’t do anything.

Go to your Properties Editor, to the World Tab, and make sure “Use Nodes” is enabled:

It seems that you wanna change what appears in the Material preview mode. What Joseph suggested works for the final render

You can change it between some pre-installed HDRI’s that come with Blender by clicking on the sphere first

It’s possible put your own HDRI’s there too but that’s for another topic

.

Just notice that this preview won’t appear in the final render

Change the mode to Rendered and then you will see the nodes affecting the actual background
