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).
The location on the Mac:
~/Library/Application Support/Teams/Backgrounds/Uploads
If you're having issues. Go to Finder and select "Go to folder" from the Go menu. Type in ~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft since the teams/backgrounds/uploads may not have been created yet.
I see I've added an image which has a few steps, I'd suggest trying the bottom one first as that seems most probable because what might be happening is that your search function could be appearing as hidden.
Hope this helps.
Adsminor510 Hi - When clicking on the window bottom left - I do not see a search: this is what I see:
Thank you for trying to help.
- quick note: I don't own a windows computer so I'm not familiar with the layout of files manager, so I am generalising what I know, but it should still work.
Haha mate, that's fine, I also had trouble when I was trying this. On windows it a different process, in the bottom left corner of your screen you'll find the windows button that you're familiar with, click on that and then in the search bar type;
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Teams\Backgrounds\Upload
(you can copy-paste that and chuck that right it if you want)
from there you should be in a folder where you're able to add any Star Wars images you want.
If there are still any issues feel free to tell me, stay safe.
hi!
finder is specific to MAC.
The Windows file location was noted as:
c:\users\<youruserid>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Teams\Backgrounds\Uploads
hope this works!
Thank you for trying to help.
I am working on a Dell with Windows 10 and no clue what you are referring to about two faces. Maybe I just need to accept I am too **bleep** stupid to try to attempT this an just be content with my drab old background of my kitchen. Saw some really cool Star Wars backgrounds that would be cool, but oh well. Thanks again - stay safe
- I just realised you might not have a Mac, what computer do you have? Windows or Mac
Hi there, You can find the finder application (the one with two faces, one blue and one white) on the dock bar at the edge of your home screen (the one with all the apps in it), the 'Go' menu for finder will appear once you open the app on the very top of the screen (where your time, wifi and other essential tools are, from there find 'Go to Folder' from the drop-down menu and there will be a box that appears, you need to type in what Kevin-M wrote, (note: some of the script might already be typed in, as it was for me). From there navigate your way through the folders and into the Uploads folder in teams backgrounds.
Hope this helped
