Backgrounds
Has anybody worked out how to add custom backgrounds programmatically? We will need to push our corp imagery to make it available for all staff. Previously this was done by GPO putting images into ...
aaronm443 Any update on this? I think it was rotten enough to take away the ability to push custom backgrounds through the Teams admin console, but at least with "old" Teams the IT department could work around this by using other file distribution methods. I just upgraded to New Teams last week and I'm having the same experience as you did a month ago, with randomized file names in a hard-to-find location path.
I haven't spent any more time on this as yet. After testing, the new Teams is so far from feature complete/parity with the old Team we can't consider it for enterprise deployment in the near future. Our testers have mostly reverted to old teams, which seems to still be getting feature updates (via the Public and Developer preview channels) that the new teams is not (eg the greenscreen background is only in old Teams, and was just released to preview)! It's an odd situation.
