Custom Background Images for Teams Meetings
Yep. https://office365itpros.com/2020/04/06/teams-meeting-background-image/ was updated once the information started floating around the net to tell people about how to upload their custom images for PC and Mac. Note that this is unsupported by Microsoft (but the custom images work).
If anyone is having issues with not being able to see or access the \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Teams\Backgrounds\Uploads folders, you need to login to Teams at least once, and click on the Show Background effects, click on one of the images and select Preview before the folder is created.
The folder does not exist until you at least preview one of the backgrounds.
Once you have done this, you should have the folders and be able to upload.
I have 2 laptops. Both with the latest Teams Software version. One has the background option available and one only has the blur background option. On the one with the blur only, it doesn't even have a backgrounds folder created. It's got a i5-8365U which specs say have AVX2. I can't figure out how to get the option available. Any ideas?
- Just wondering, are you using the same account to login to Teams on both laptops?
jenncarneiro yes, both the same corporate account.
