Live Event Guest user add new background
Hello emacleo2 As you can see from this past community discussion, it could be any number of things. There are many solutions offered here; if none of them work you might want to reach out to our answers.microsoft.com tech support site for personalized service.
Select my Background option not visible in my MS Teams - Microsoft Tech Community
- You can also use the "old fashioned" way:
Check on your hard drive for the following folder path:
Windows: Users > [username] > AppData > Microsoft > Teams > Backgrounds > Uploads
Mac: Users > [username] > Library > Application > Support > Microsoft > Teams > Backgrounds > Uploadsnlundqvist and others==
I use Microsoft Teams mainly as a Guest invited by others. When I join a meeting, I would like to display a custom background behind me.
I see how to enable a blurred background, but not a method to upload a custom background to use for each Guest invite.
Is this possible to do and how (preferably to store a custom background which I can just click to enable for each Guest invite).
Note: this question is for the Teams Windows App which I have installed on my Windows 10 machine, not for using Teams in a Browser. Whenever I get an invitation, I click to open the invitation in the App, which works better than a Browser.
BTW, I saw your suggestion how to install a custom background, but I don't see a Backgrounds subfolder under this Path on my computer: Windows: Users > [username] > AppData > Microsoft > Teams > Backgrounds > Uploads
If this is the place to upload the custom background, how do I enable a Backgrounds folder to upload the custom file? And once it's uploaded, how do I enable the custom background when opening the Invite in the Teams App?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
