Hi, yes you're using the latest Edge canary version, the feature is still in controlled rollout phase. at one time it was out but it's back to controlled rollout phase again.

for example right now using the same IP address, I have my Windows 10 and a Mac virtual machine open.

both have the same Edge canary version. on Windows 10 I have the option to set custom image for NTP but on Mac I don't have it.

HotCakeX how often do people get rolled out? I need this feature very badly for an excellent joke I want to include in an edge how-to video I am creating for my org

It's not clear, maybe ever 1 or 2 canary builds, but you should use Canary channel if you want to be the first to get them.
also these feature are most of the times region-locked until they are released to everyone in all regions, so another thing you can try is to use a VPN and IP of different countries.
(after connecting VPN, restart Edge a couple of times)
