MicrosoftWe understand the frustration and apologize for not communicating as much. We are doing the due diligence to ensure when we release things will be better. No specific dates to announce yet but seems to be aligning to the first half of April.
The first half of April will soon be here. Is there any news on the subject?
- Yun_LiuWe have a fix in hand and are doing our due diligence to test it across all clients and host VM configurations. We've engaged Teams leadership on an accelerated release plan to get these features out the door asap. In addition to background blur, we'll be adding support for background replacement at the same time. We've also laid out a release plan for additional Teams on AVD features that will be delivered alongside background blur and background replacement. We'll share more about these plans towards the end of next week. Thank you for your patience.
Hi, Any update on this? We are now half way through May and no sign of this being released? Thanks

Background effects (background blur & custom background images) are rolling out now. Please look for new release posts later this week.
- Any update? Its almost end of april and we have hundreds of users complaining about feature parity.
Yun_Liu Hi, is there any update on potential dates for roll out of these features? Thank you!
- Yun_LiuWe have cleared all blockers for rolling out background blur and been testing a fix this week. We will have more extensive testing next week to ensure everything is ready to ship early in May. Along with background blur and background image replacement, we will also ship multi-window, which provides users the option to pop out chats, meetings, calls, or documents into separate windows to help streamline their workflow.
