Does anyone know how to find this folder on your Mac? I came as far as the ~Library folder and then got hopelessly lost...

      Yeah, I had to create the Backgrounds folder, then under that, create the Uploads folder.
      I put my jpg file in Uploads and the image was available for use as a background..

        FYI. Microsoft has made it so AVX 1 is able to use background blur again and background effects. This should enable more users to use it across the board.

    Yep!

    But I still have to choose my background whenever I make or receive a call. I wish I had one by default
