Changing the background for video in Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams allows you to choose a custom background when taking part in video calls and video meetings. When joining a meeting, follow the steps below to set your background.

1. Click on the background effects button.
   
2. Either choose one of the default background effects or, if you have your own image you would like to use, you can click "+ Add new".
   
3. New images that you add will show up at the bottom of the list. Scroll down, then click on them to use them.
   

Note: For BDMAT Central Team staff, we have a collection of backgrounds available here for you to use.
