There are many options available in Microsoft Teams for the meeting background.
You have a choice of:
- Selected pictures
- Custom image
- Blurring your background
Before or during a meeting, any one of the three options can be changed. For each of them, we'll go over every step of the setup procedure.
Note: PC and Mac client applications can currently use background effects. On iOS devices, background blur is also supported.
