Any update on the Custom video Background feature?
I've seen this mentioned in a few Ignite videos going back a while but didn't see anything when I looked on the roadmap. Does anyone know if there's an ETA on the release of the custom backgrounds when sharing your webcam in a meeting?
Thanks.
- Hi Kelemvor333,
No confirmed ETA as of yet. One of the most recent updates was by Loryan Strant and his demoing of it for 365 unplugged

Nothing on the roadmap as you say. Hopefully we'll hear more at Enterprise Connect at the end of February or at the MVP summit in March. There is definitely a momentum growing for this - it's been previewed since Enterprise Connect on 2019. I recently wrote about is as something I wanted to see in 2020 in my blog here

So unfortunately still some time to go.
Hope that answers your question
Best, Chris

Based on this video posted on LinkedIn it should be available but I don't see it

Faiza Qadri This is what's coming soon. The updates are being rolled out on each tenant, when ready.
Starup , @Faiza Qadri - When? Is there a schedule for this rollout? We've been hearing that it is coming for quite some time.
