Change the teams background image programatically
Hi.
Is it possible to change the teams background picture programatically?
And by programatically I primarily mean using powershell or C# or something like that, but I could easily just make a jig that copies a file to a certain destination with a certain name and then hack the registry to make it happen 🙂
The usecase is that we have a fun little "quiz" in the start of our standup sessions. I change my background to either a scene from a movie, or something else recognizable, and people just throw guesses at me... Just some fun. But I'd like to make it a bit more automatic, let me fill a folder with images named "yyyymmdd - something.jpg" and make a script that changes todays background based on date.
- Nope. We have no client-side API, most settings can only be toggled by policies. Go vote it up on the Feedback portal: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/forum/ad198462-1c1c-ec11-b6e7-0022481f8472
- If you make a more deep search, you will find some solutions that might work such as the following one ;-): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/325873/deploy-custom-background-to-microsoft-teams-via-in.html
- Right, but that only makes the images available for selection within Teams, it does not actually change the currently selected image. Which is what I believe the original ask was.
