When joining a Teams meeting, you want the focus on you-not that messy bookcase behind you. Microsoft Teams custom background effects are now available! It’s all about enabling you and your team to work productively, collaboratively, and with everyone’s well-being in mind. Today, we are announcing the rollout of new custom background effects in Teams, along with new features in the free version of Teams.

These trends, along with daily conversations with customers navigating remote collaboration, inspired us to accelerate new features to customize your video experiences and make meetings more productive, comfortable, and fun. We also saw total video calls in Teams grow by over 1,000 percent in the month of March. In fact, when the world moved to remote work earlier this year, Microsoft Teams customers turned on video in Teams meetings two times more than they did before many of us began working from home full-time.

Top collaboration tip: share the file locally via your MS Teams to speed up sharing the file with colleagues, but check back every six months for any changes. Please note that the file is large due to the images and on slower networks may take some time to download.

The instructions for saving your background on MS Teams can also be found below. Click the link here or the image below to download the pack as a PowerPoint file.
