Custom background now working.
Reid_Alexander You can add your own meeting background in the Teams client but not if you have joined a Teams meeting via the web.
In meeting select more actions (...) and then Apply background effects. Then select +Add new to add a new background image of your choice.
Deleted i do not see that option.
Reid_Alexander I suspect that the Admin may have switched off the ability for users to add their own backgrounds (NoFilters). This is managed via PowerShell and cannot be seen in the Teams Admin portal.
See Microsoft Docs info
Meeting policy settings - Video filters mode
This is a per-user policy. This setting controls whether users can customize their video background in a meeting.
Currently, you can only use PowerShell to set this policy. You can edit an existing Teams meeting policy by using the https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/skype/set-csteamsmeetingpolicy cmdlet. Or, create a new Teams meeting policy by using the https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/skype/new-csteamsmeetingpolicy cmdlet, and then assign the policy to users.
To specify whether users can customize their video background in a meeting, set the VideoFiltersMode parameter as follows:
MEETING POLICY SETTINGS - VIDEO FILTERS MODESetting value in PowerShell BehaviorNoFilters User can't customize their video background. BlurOnly User has the option to blur their video background. BlurandDefaultBackgrounds User has the option to blur their video background or choose from the default set of images to use as their background. AllFilters Use has the option to blur their video background, choose from the default set of images, or upload custom images to use as their background. Deleted how do i make it so i can add my own>
