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).
We do not have any problems updating the version of the Teams Desktop.
We have been getting the latest versions and are currently on the 1.3.00.13565 (64-bit) version.
And still do not have the Background Effects feature showing up.
Daniel Watsonone other thing I noticed was when I logged into a Teams meeting hosted by a different organization it got disabled again. Have you tried hosting from different organizations and see if anything changes?
I have the same here on our envirorment the background effects are not show. actually i am on 1.3.00.13565 version but still no background effects... this on a Surface Pro so that should support it...
when i use my small little private notebook, there it works fine on a older teams version...
JoshNelson, I have not been part of a meeting hosted in a different organization.
We believe that there is something within our Windows 10 build or some setting that is getting in the way and blocking this feature from showing up.
When using Teams on a non-company PC with the same account, we have no problem getting the Background Effects feature to show up and that has been the case since the feature first started showing up.
I know of at least around 30 or more other people within our Company who have seen the exact same thing.
Since we started working from Home, a lot of them have been running Teams on their Home PCs and seeing the Background Effects feature. Then when they have been coming back into the office and using their Office PC again, they still do not have the feature showing up. Even though they are running the same version or even in some cases a newer version than what they had at home.
