jameshoty Hello, yes it is. This is the location 

C:\Users\"username"\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Teams\Backgrounds\Uploads

If you can't see AppData you probably need to change the settings to view all "files and folders" in File Explorer.

      ChristianBergstrom  Btw, do you have any idea what is the recommended size, resolution for this background image so that it fit nicely into the entire screen as well as on the viewer screen. FYI I am putting my company logon, URL, but the logo and URL get chopped off...
