Enable gif backgrounds for Microsoft Teams
If you need it right now you can use OBS here is https://www.amandasterner.com/post/how-to-get-a-moving-background-in-a-microsoft-teams-meeting-other-fun-things
ngath Too much work required; easier if Microsoft developers gives us this function in the next update.
TMorg2000 At the risk of sounding like an old curmudgeon, I would like to formally veto this request. We really don't need a bunch of irrelevant activity going on in the background while someone is talking or presenting. One or two animated backgrounds might be quaint; a dozen backgrounds with zombies eating brains, Hooters dancing girls, Wizard of Oz flying monkeys, Godzilla attacks, Warcraft Victory parties, Las Vegas Slots, and extreme weather gifs would be seizure-inducing - even if it takes the edge of those monthly TSP reports that Lundberg keeps asking about.
- TechWonk This is a little closed-minded. Teams isn't just used in your organization, nor is it only available for business users. MS has made Teams available for free to anyone, not to mention it's used for education. Easier GIF and animated background support is analogous to emoji, sticker, and GIF support in chat.
