When joining a Teams meeting, you want the focus on you—not that messy bookcase behind you. Last year, we introduced background blur to help everyone preserve privacy and keep their attention on their teammates. Our design team also created a collection of preset images that range from professional (a modern office) to pretty silly (a cartoonish beach scene). Today, we’re expanding these options so you can customize your background by uploading your own images or choosing one of the School of Social Work backgrounds now available online.

How to Use Teams Backgrounds

The backgrounds on this page are from the School of Social Work.  Here are instructions for using them.

1. Click on a thumbnail to open the image at full size and right-click to save it to your computer.
2. Then, follow the steps in this Knowledge Base article to add them to Teams.
