Custom Background In MS Teams
UPDATED It looks like this is in the process of being rolled out or at least actively tested.
If you have the version with the option to select a background image, custom images can be added.
Save your image /s in the Uploads folder below
C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME_HERE\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Teams\Backgrounds\Uploads
Then, in teams while on a call; click the 'More Actions' (Three Dots) at the bottom, select 'Show Background Effects'
The pictures you added should show up on the right hand side of the screen with the default options from Microsoft.
Good Luck!

I wanted to say How to put a default Background in teams?
Does anyone know how to find this folder on your Mac? I came as far as the ~Library folder and then got hopelessly lost...
potad ~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Teams/Backgrounds
Put your custom backgrounds in:
~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Teams/Backgrounds
Where you get that version? Don't seem to be live yet
It looks like this may be in the process of getting rolled out.
I used it on two separate calls this afternoon.
This is what the options menu looks like
seanwindrem I am on the same version with you. But I still do not have the show background effect.
- What version of MS Teams?
Microsoft Teams Version 1.3.00.8663 (64-bit). It was last updated on 4/3/20.
seanwindrem I have the latest version through our school and updated (You have Microsoft Teams Version 1.3.00.8663 (64-bit). It was last updated on 4/20/20.) Still no background options. Is this an issue?
