Hi, Microsoft 365 Insiders! We’re excited to share that Microsoft Teams Public Preview users can now use animated backgrounds in meetings.
The animated backgrounds feature in Teams meetings allows you to replace an existing background with a dynamic animation for a more immersive virtual environment. It offers various options to enhance meeting experiences with creativity and personalization based on what you want. Currently, only pre-defined backgrounds from Microsoft are supported.
To use this feature, users need to be members of the Teams Public Preview and use the Windows or macOS Teams client. Other meeting participants aren’t required to be members of the Teams Public Preview.
To enable your Teams client for the Public Preview, IT administrators need to set an update policy that turns on Show preview features. Learn how at Public preview in Microsoft Teams.
We want to hear from you! Click Help > Give feedback in Teams to send us your thoughts about this feature. This feedback menu is located in the bottom-left corner of your Teams client.
