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\u2019s where background effects come in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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\u2019re not working in a traditional office setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this guide, we\u2019ll show you how to change your Microsoft Teams background on both desktop and mobile devices. We\u2019ll also provide some tips for choosing the right background for your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-microsoft-teams-background\"><span id=\"what-is-microsoft-teams-background\">What is Microsoft Teams\u2019 background?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>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<p>A few choices for backdrops are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Blur the background to keep it out of focus yet unaltered.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Replace the background with a picture accessible directly from Microsoft Teams, such as images or backdrops, with a professional appearance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Upload a unique image for the team\u2019s backdrop.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-change-microsoft-teams-background\"><span id=\"how-to-change-microsoft-teams-background\">How to Change Microsoft Teams Background<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before starting or joining a meeting, users can add backgrounds. It can also be done during a call. Depending on when you change your backdrop and what device you\u2019re using, there will be somewhat different steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-how-to-change-your-microsoft-teams-background-before-a-call\"><span id=\"1-how-to-change-your-microsoft-teams-background-before-a-call\">#1. How to Change Your Microsoft Teams Background Before a Call<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can take a few easy actions to alter your background before the call starts. Change your settings as follows at the beginning of a meeting on the \u201cJoining\u201d screen:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Toggle the background settings control (found between the audio and video control buttons) and choose \u201cBackground settings\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensure that your video is on.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select a Background or Add One of Your Own.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>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<p>Remember that you can \u201cblur\u201d your background, but doing so does not produce an appealing image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-how-to-change-your-microsoft-teams-background-during-a-call\"><span id=\"2-how-to-change-your-microsoft-teams-background-during-a-call\">#2. How to Change Your Microsoft Teams  Background During a Call<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>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<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">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\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-begin-join-a-meeting\"><span id=\"begin-join-a-meeting\">Begin\/Join a Meeting<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Turn on the video and audio switches from underneath the preview window, navigate to the meeting with the box using the technique described in the previous section, and click Join Now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-navigate-to-the-pane-for-background-settings\"><span id=\"navigate-to-the-pane-for-background-settings\">Navigate to the Pane for Background Settings<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>While a meeting is still in progress, select More Actions from the Meeting box\u2019s top-right corner, then select Apply Background Effects from the menu that appears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-change-the-background\"><span id=\"change-the-background\">Change the Background<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose the image you wish to use as your new backdrop by clicking on it in the backdrop settings window on the right, and then click Apply at the bottom to save the changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-how-to-add-a-background-of-your-own\"><span id=\"3-how-to-add-a-background-of-your-own\">#3. How to Add a Background of Your Own<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can always upload your background if you don\u2019t want to use the default Microsoft Teams background. This is a terrific way to include your brand\u2019s colors or emblem in meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make your own background image to start. On your device, save this as a.JPG, PNG, or.BMP file. Navigate to the background effects settings when altering your backdrop, and click Add New.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The backdrop image file from your device is now available for selection, and you can use it as your background. If you ever need to switch to a custom backdrop, you can utilize the file again because it will be saved to your chosen background selections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-change-your-microsoft-teams-background-variation-during-calls-mobile\"><span id=\"how-to-change-your-microsoft-teams-background-variation-during-calls-mobile\">How to Change Your Microsoft Teams Background Variation During Calls (Mobile)<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The procedures are slightly different if you join a meeting using a mobile device and want to change your background. You can change your background before or during a meeting, just like in a desktop or web meeting, although the procedures will vary significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by setting up the call as usual, then take the following actions to change your background before or during the meeting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-start-a-new-team-meeting-on-mobile\"><span id=\"1-start-a-new-team-meeting-on-mobile\">#1.

You can also tap the plus tile to upload and use a custom image as an alternative. To save the changes after choosing a background, touch Done in the top-right corner of the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-change-your-microsoft-teams-background-on-a-laptop-before-a-meeting\"><span id=\"how-to-change-your-microsoft-teams-background-on-a-laptop-before-a-meeting\">How to Change Your Microsoft Teams Background on a Laptop Before a Meeting<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use a virtual background in Teams before you start a meeting or join one.

Background settings are displayed on the right panel. Meanwhile, to hide your surroundings, you can blur your background.

Changing your background to a neutral image or a virtual office can help you to look more professional.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>To protect your privacy:<\/strong> If you\u2019re concerned about your privacy, you can blur your background or replace it with an image that doesn\u2019t reveal any personal information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>To be more creative:<\/strong> You can use background effects to add some personality to your video calls. For example, you could use a beach background to make it look like you\u2019re on vacation, or a holiday background to celebrate a special occasion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\"><span id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Backgrounds are a fantastic way to personalize a Microsoft Teams conference and provide meeting participants with an additional measure of privacy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of Microsoft Teams\u2019 finest features is background filters.
