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!

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, MB

This 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.
