Teams Video call Custom Backgrounds - Release date?
Hi, Is there a release date for Teams custom backgrounds for use on video calls? It was announced earlier this year with a release date of "later this year" but I've seen nothing more concret...
- 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
I've figured out how to use a custom background.
Save your image /s in the uploads folder for teams.
Mine was located here:
C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME_HERE\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Teams\Backgrounds\Uploads
Then in teams; click the three dots > Show Background Effects
The pictures you added should be there with the included default backgrounds
Good Luck!

thanks Sean,
My trail ended at Teams ... then went to logs .... Oh well = I will just keep waiting. Still interested in why so low in Likes but Views are OTT.
Any ideas?
