New Teams change file path for personal backgrounds?

I have users who started updating Teams themselves to New Teams and a consistent problem I'm seeing and have recreated myself is that images we have stored in Teams for company backgrounds (\Microsoft\Teams\Backgrounds\Uploads\) are no longer showing up in the list of web cam backgrounds in New Teams. We have been using a GPO for these users so the process is automated, but I'm wondering if New Teams is using some new file path? I'd Google it but Google keeps steering me to the file path listed above.

 
 
  • From the testing we've done so far, the path is: -%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Microsoft\MSTeams\Backgrounds\Uploads

    The backgrounds won't automatically be ported across from the 'old Teams' location - %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Teams\Backgrounds\Uploads
    We're using Endpoint remediation scripts to get around that.
    Hope this helps, and I know what you mean about Google 😉
