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 > Uploads

nlundqvist 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.
