New Teams - Backgrounds Folder
This folder is used by the older version of Teams, and the folder you mentioned is the same one I talked about - %appdata%\Microsoft\Teams.
The new Teams version has moved this folder, and while searching on my device, I found the images at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Microsoft\MSTeams\Backgrounds\Uploads."
Tks!
Basically Old Location(the folder path only generates if the software is installed on the pc, so you may need to separately install alongside the new teams):
C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Teams\Backgrounds\Uploads
New Location:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Microsoft\MSTeams\Backgrounds\Uploads
However since the teams web app version doesn't allow custom backgrounds is their a possible work around where we can add a custom picture or video to where the default background images are stored for the teams web app version?
If there is a location where would the web app images be stored?

Hi there,
We are currently using Microsoft Teams Version 1.7.00.10152 (64-bit). Citrix HDX Optimized. It was last updated on 5/1/24. However, there is no such referenced path as "%LocalAppData%\Packages\MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Microsoft\MSTeams\Backgrounds\Uploads" to have the corporate based backgrounds being added. Any ideas how to achive this? Many thanks and best regards, MBThis is 'Classic Teams' (v1.x), the folder you refer to is for 'New Teams' (v2.x). You can already add personal background images and video to Classic Teams i.e. within the application GUI, no need for the 'hack' we've been discussing here.
