Select my Background option not visible in my MS Teams
- Jul 16, 2020
We encountered the very same issue and after some significant hunting, we isolated the issue to 3 JSON files that need replacing.
I have included these files within the zip file attached.
To ensure that this works for you, follow the steps below:
1. Sign out of Teams (do not just exit the application), and wait until the application asks you to sign in.
2. Close/Exit Teams by right clicking on the Teams icon in the system tray and selecting Quit.
3. Extract the zip file to a location of your choosing and copy the extracted files.
4. Browse to %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Teams and paste the 3 files you extracted in step 3 into that folder, replacing the originals.
5. Launch Teams again and sign in.
6. Enjoy your Backgrounds feature.
Please note that this fix will only work if your laptop/PC has the capable hardware to support this feature.
Hope this helps you!
