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).
Try here: c:users\<youruserid>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Teams\Backgrounds and you need to add them to the uploads folder....

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 🙂
jenncarneiro Have you tried after joining a meeting and selecting the background effects option? This causes the folder to be created...
TonyRedmond - Thank you. I had only used that feature on my mac so far.
I have now done it on windows and found the folder 🙂
One of the files is called fluentspaces3.png which i used the same image as a background on mac.I searched this filename on mac and had no results.
Does anyone know the folder location on macOS Mojave? The location listed in the linked article does not exist for me unfortunately.
jenncarneiro I also don't have this feature. I don't think all versions of Teams has this feature yet. I am using the desktop app in Windows 10 Pro on Teams Version 1.3.00.4461 (64-bit). For those of you that it's working for can you tell me your version and how you got it? I go to update and it says I have the most current but I don't have the option to add a background.
- It doesn't work without selecting the background effects once and trying it out. Even manually creating the folders doesn't do it, until you use it once.
