How to add custom backgrounds into Microsoft Teams video calls. This new feature in MS Teams allows you to change the background when on a video call in a meeting.

With more of us working from home and requiring to join online meetings via video, sometimes the background is not suitable and doesn’t look professional. You may also want to hide people who are in the background. With virtual backgrounds in Microsoft Teams you can create more of a professional setting.

Use Virtual Backgrounds in Teams without a green screen. Just select the image you want as your background and you will be virtually in the location of your choice. Add a company logo to look more professional when working from home.

Watch this video to learn how to change the virtual background and how to add your customized image into MS Teams.

Save your image into this location:
NOTE: You don’t need the path anymore – See Updated Video: https://youtu.be/gKGPwgdd2iY

%AppData%//Microsoft//Teams//Backgrounds//Uploads

MAC Users – Save your image here: ~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Teams/Backgrounds/Uploads

Image details:
Image dimensions 1920 x 1080 px

UPDATE – No need to flip the image. Others will see any text correctly. It’s just mirrored on your screen.

Save as PNG or JPG
