Background effects in teams not working unless signed in
If I sign into Teams using my personal account, background effects work fine. However work policy doesn't allow me to sign into my work account from my home pc, so I access meetings as guest not sign...

Any solution for the issue?
Because of this issue, I hate when people invite me for a meeting at teams, imagine working from home, and joining the meeting with your home as the background instead of the company logo.

This works for me now as a guest via the web app or the windows app. Has been working for a month or so. Wonder why doesn't work for everyone?

This is very frustrating. Don't have this problem with Google meet, zoom, WebEx. In fact Microsoft teams is the only one that doesn't work.- Oct 29, 2021
Chatterbug Hello, I understand the frustration. For what it's worth, background effect for web users (you can either blur your background or replace it entirely with any image you want) was supposed to roll out by October but has been pushed forward to November and is expected to be completed early December. You can manage the video effects policy using PowerShell or via the admin center.
Here's the roadmap id Introducing background effects on web
- ChatterbugOct 29, 2021Copper ContributorSo why did background affects on the browser work fine for all of 2021 then suddenly not work around April this year.?
It's not a new feature, it worked great when it worked. The option is there it's just great out now.
