How do you add a background image in Teams for Personal User?

Copper Contributor

I'm looking for assistance on how to set a background image in Teams for Microsoft 365 Personal user? Also, are the steps to create a poll any different as well?

Thank you!

Hello @Dr_Christina_Frye 

 

there are several resources online about how to change your Teams background - here's two:  https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/change-your-background-for-a-teams-meeting-f77a2381-443a-...

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/how-to-use-custom-backgrounds-on-microsoft-teams/ar-BB14FE...

 

Same with how to create a poll, like this one:  https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/create-a-poll-in-microsoft-teams-a3f9112c-01e1-4ee4-bd88-...

 

If these don't answer your question, feel free to do your own searches.

@ThereseSolimeno Thank you for the links! I can't access the link for the polls though; can you forward another? Appreciate your assistance!

Might be better do your own search online or on support.microsoft.com where I found this one so you can access it directly  @Dr_Christina_Frye 

@Dr_Christina_Frye per the video i just watched, there should be a "background image" icon next to the audio and video buttons. I do not have the background image icon. Nor do i have the "add background" option during a live video. 

 

i am using the free version of Team. is that why i do not have the option to add a background image?
