How to Add Background Effects on Microsoft Teams !

Adding background effects in Microsoft Teams is a great way to maintain privacy, reduce distractions, or create a more professional or fun visual appearance during meetings. Teams offers a variety of built-in background options, including blur effects, custom images, and themed visuals. You can also upload your own images to personalize your background. To begin, open the Microsoft Teams app and join a meeting. You can do this by selecting a scheduled meeting from your calendar or tapping the “Join” button for an ongoing meeting. Before you tap "Join now," ensure your video is turned on so you can preview the background changes. Once inside the meeting preview or during the meeting itself, tap on the three-dot menu (More options). In the menu that appears, select "Background effects." This opens a panel with a range of default background options provided by Microsoft, such as blurred backgrounds and professional settings. From here, you can tap to apply any of the built-in effects. If you want to use a custom image, scroll to the top and look for the “Add new” or “+” icon. Tapping this will let you browse and upload a background image from your device. After selecting your preferred background, tap “Apply” or “Apply and turn on video” to enable the effect. These settings will stay active during your session and can be changed at any time by repeating the process. To remove the effect, return to the same menu and select “None.” Background effects are available on most versions of Teams across desktop and mobile, although some older devices may have limited support due to hardware constraints.
