Teams – You can now set your background in Teams meeting

After allowing you to blur the background when joining a Teams meeting, you can now set your own background (well quite not fully yours).

You can now choose from a pre defined set of backgrounds – being able to set your own is coming soon.

To set your background just hit the Options (…) button and choose Show background effects, you can then choose from a pre defined list of backgrounds

UPDATE 1 a colleague of mine just let me know you can copy your own background file in

%userprofile%AppDataRoamingMicrosoftTeamsBackgroundsUploads and it will be available to choose from the Show background effects list

UPDATE 2 another colleague of mine just let me know the same tip for Mac use, you can copy your own background file in

/users/<your username>/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Teams/Backgrounds/Uploads and it will be available to choose from the Show background effects list
