Trick brings own backgrounds

You can not yet import your own backgrounds into Microsoft Teams, as competitor Zoom can, for example. But with a simple trick, you can import your own images into the database and then use your individual background. So you can professionally display the company logo or a vacation photo from the beach.

• Open the file path: C Users “Your PC” AppData Roaming Microsoft Teams Backgrounds Uploads

• There you will see the pre-installed backgrounds and can now save your own picture.

• Restart the application and you will find your individual background during video conferences.

• On Mac, this also works via the Finder under your user name. Open the file path here: Library / Application / Support / Microsoft / Teams / Backgrounds / Uploads

• Note for Mac users: First, you have to make the “Library” folder visible. Right-click on the white space in the folder and click on “Show display options”. Finally, tick “Show folder ‘Library'”.
