A step-by-step tutorial on how to join a Microsoft Teams meeting. This is the new Microsoft Teams meeting experience that just rolled out. I cover the video, audio and new layout experience for joining a Teams meeting. This also includes setting the Teams background image or blur, changing video cameras, setting audio, and having Teams call your phone directly. There are also fun bonus Microsoft Teams background images for all education accounts in Office 365, link below.

The Microsoft Teams background image feature is currently only available in Teams Desktop and Teams Mac. We hope to bring in to other platforms in the future.
