Microsoft Teams is a popular video conferencing tool that allows users to connect with colleagues and clients around the world. While Teams is a great way to stay connected, it can be distracting to have your messy living room or office in the background of your video calls. That’s where background effects come in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Microsoft Teams allows you to blur your background, replace it with a pre-made image, or even upload your own custom background. This can help you maintain a professional appearance, even if you’re not working in a traditional office setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this guide, we’ll show you how to change your Microsoft Teams background on both desktop and mobile devices. We’ll also provide some tips for choosing the right background for your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the name implies, backdrops in Microsoft Teams are possibilities for replacing specific backgrounds while on a call. Teams recognize certain users on a screen and overlay a background over them to hide their surroundings. The overlay is intelligently adjusted as the user moves. All of this is accomplished without the use of a green screen of any kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there, you can start the meeting, and your background will remain changed to your chosen option until you do so again. With Microsoft Teams bespoke backgrounds, a greenscreen or anything comparable is not required. The highly trained, intelligent model will automatically separate you from your backdrop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remember that you can “blur” your background, but doing so does not produce an appealing image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Microsoft Teams also lets you switch to a different, more polished background during an ongoing meeting session. In such circumstances, changing the background in Microsoft Teams is explained by the following steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The options to blur your background, choose a picture, or upload a new one are the same whether you change it before or during a call.<\/pre>\n\n\n\nBegin\/Join a Meeting<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
