Microsoft Delivers Control for Teams Background Blur and Effects

MVP

 

Microsoft has updated the Teams meeting policy to introduce a new control over video filters in Teams meetings. The VideoFiltersMode setting controls if people can use background blur and background effects, including the ability to upload custom images. A client update is needed to respect the new setting. It will come at the end of May.

Can Microsoft teams background picture be managed by admin for his organization. Can he ensure that everyone across his organization has a single background and not customize it. Please do share the steps if possible please.

Greetings!!! Thank you for your response.

@Tony Redmond any idea if / when this could be coming? Ideally I'd like to be able to push out backgrounds for initiatives such as International Women's / Men's day etc. Or is it just via PowerShell at the moment? 

@Nixxiola It's certainly a feature that has been asked for, but as I don't work for Microsoft, I have no idea if they will implement this kind of functionality. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised either if they did.
