Custom Background Images for Teams Meetings
Yep. https://office365itpros.com/2020/04/06/teams-meeting-background-image/ was updated once the information started floating around the net to tell people about how to upload their custom images for PC and Mac. Note that this is unsupported by Microsoft (but the custom images work).
You can upload your own pictures... TonyRedmond
It might not be so easy for any user -but just open appdata folder and upload picture(s) to
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Teams\Backgrounds\Upload

TonyRedmond what are the best dimensions for custom background?
JCabral In https://office365itpros.com/2020/04/06/teams-meeting-background-image/ I recommend 1920 x 1080 pixels, which seem to work well in most cases. It's also the size used for the Microsoft default images.
Sava_Jeremic PERFECTLY worked for me, thanks a lot!
The folder is named "Uplaods" (with an s) for me though.
Best, Tim
Sava_Jeremicsorry i don't understand where/how to find that folder, i'm using windows 10 can you help please?
- Go to any search bar and add %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Teams\Backgrounds
And you’ll find the uploads folderadam deltinger I can't find it either... is it a hidden folder (pc)
katesteventon Hi Kate,
I hope that you found the location of the pictures in MS Teams, If not see below:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Teams\Backgrounds\Uploads.
- Hi Kate,
Try here: c:users\<youruserid>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Teams\Backgrounds and you need to add them to the uploads folder....Gretz_AU
I also cannot locate that folder, but I do have the new backgrounds (stock)... I'm also on Windows 10.I've searched the entire AppData folder for "backgrounds" and nothing comes up for microsoft.
Could someone who has successfully located this folder share a filename of one of the stock images to search on? Also, does anyone know where this is stored for the mac version?
Thank you for all help 🙂
I've tried finding that folder and copy-pasting it in but it isn't working for me.
I'm on Mac btw, is there even an option for me?
Adsminor510 try this:
On Macs, the images should be copied to:
/users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Teams/Backgrounds/UploadsYou may need to hold down the OPTION key before you choose GO from the Finder Menu to get the Library to appear.
That isn’t working for me, sorry. I don’t know why
Sava_Jeremic, this worked like a Champ. Thanks!!
It is working fine in my Windows 10 laptop but how to do it in my iPad pro Sava_Jeremic
Tuhin_PatraI heard an iOS update is coming that will add that but for now I don't think you can do it from a mobile iOS/iPadOS device.
