Teams Video call Custom Backgrounds - Release date?
- Not currently. It was demoed as early back as March 2019 so there are a lot of asks for it
The guys at Regarding 365 recently did an update on it which may be worth watching

Would recommend keeping an eye on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, as well as Teams Uservoice.
Hope that answers your question
Best, Chris
Although happy for the custom background integrated with blur feature, it doesn't sound like they will have a Green Screen option like in Zoom. In Zoom when you do not use a Green Screen the image can get distorted when user moves. So the Green Screen option allows a better viewing experience if you have a solid green background...I use it with just a piece of old green fabric my wife had laying around. Sorry to digress...any hoot, will be interesting to see how well the customer background works and see how it handles movement distortions. PJR_CDF
troberge Read that closely -- the current roadmap release is significantly lacking -- MS gives you 8 canned images to choose from, no ability to select your own image.
cknight725, while it might be true that 8 canned backgrounds are coming out at least it is a start for now. According to the M365 admin center it is starting to roll out.
Jeffrey Allen The largest software company in the world adds a "feature" to roadmap that is 1+ years behind a $20 one-time piece of software like ChromaCam or a free piece of software like Zoom - its really ludicrous IMO ...
cknight725, you are right, however, Microsoft Teams is much more that Zoom and ChromaCam and they've been rolling out a lot of features in this past year!
