Custom backgrounds?

Hello!
yes MS deployed the background in Teams. if you want to upload custom backgrounds, simply upload them into the UPLOADS folder located here %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Teams\Backgrounds

AtanasioG Thanks. Do you also happen to know the optimal specs for the image file?

what I found after digging around, some people have posted the following:
1280 x 720 or 1600 x 1200
for my Org, we chose a background, then I wrote a quick script, saved it in my OneDrive, shared it throughout my ORG, my end-users download the folder and double click on the background.bat file and it saves the image directly in the appropriate location. Simple and easy.. 🙂
