Question

I want to set a virtual background permanently in Teams so that I don't have to change it every time I start or join a new call?&nbsp;

Hi&nbsp;HarveyThrush&nbsp;Currently this is not possible. This could be a good future MS Teams update release.&nbsp;With Regards,Satish U

Not currently possible but a good suggestion. See if it’s on Microsoftteams.uservoice.com And vote or add the suggestion is best.

PLEASE add this feature.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;I do not want my Covid-19 work from home office, on display for any length of time, and when I forget to blur until someone notices, it is not a pretty outcome.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;I tend to keep my camera OFF simply because this is a "need to do every time" I turn on my camera.&nbsp;&nbsp;HarveyThrush&nbsp;

Here's the link to where you can upvote it on the Teams wanted features list:
It's in there more than once, but this one seems to have more votes:

This one is worded better, because it's really about having a default virtual background:

I upvoted both.
