C:Users YOURUSERNAMEHERE AppDataRoamingMicrosoftTeamsBackgroundsUploads. Save your image /s in the Uploads folder below. It will write important information in the log. If you have the version with the option to select a background image, custom images can be added.If the device is within the coporate network it will copy the background images from the folder on the share to the teams background location of the user.Checks if the device is connected to your corporate network.Add new to upload an image from your device. You can do the following: Blur your background while everything around you is concealed. (%appdata%\Microsoft\Teams\Background\Uploads) In the pre-join screen, tap the Change background or Background effects button. Checks if the Uploads folder is present, if not it will be created.If teams is started once before it will check if the background folder is present (%appdata%\Microsoft\Teams\Background), if not it will be created.Previously, you had to upload your own images into the proper folder on your computer, then choose. Checks if teams is already started once before by the user (%appdata%\Microsoft\Teams), if not the script will do nothing. Microsoft this week finally rolled out a way to upload custom images to your Teams background.Checks if the logfolder is present, if not it will create the logfolder and a logfile (%localappdata%\Logs\BG-copy.log).
(You will only have to change the $sourcefolder variable to the Teams-Backgrounds folder created above.) Create the variables need for the script to run.The powershell script SetTeamsBackgrounds.ps1 wil do the following actions:
The images that you will place in Teams-Backgrounds will have some requirements: Teams-Backgrounds (for the images to distribute as teams backgrounds) Set-Teams-Backgrounds (for the content needed to run the script)
This is, of course, still subject to the impacts of certain colors and the lighting conditions within the room, so it might be worth it to test your new background in a solo Meet Now room before debuting it to a crowd.In order for the powershell script to work you will need 2 folders on a netwerkshare that can be accessible for the users where you want to deploy the backgrounds to (read only). Clicking there will give the option to upload a new image, adding that image to the list of background options from which you can choose.Īs is the case with Microsoft's pre-installed options, your custom image should also work without a green screen, as Teams will still use the same algorithms and AI to separate you from the background. This should pull up all of the existing Teams background options, just as it would have before, except now, there's a new option underneath the menu's title that reads "+ Add New". Select the one that reads "Show background effects". Clicking that brings up a list of options. In a Microsoft Teams meeting, there's an icon that looks like three horizontal dots. Select a background from the images available or click ‘Add New’ to add your own. The background settings pane will open on the right. Then, click the ‘Background Filters’ option. The implementation of the feature is about as smooth as one could hope. Turn on the toggle for ‘Camera’ if it isn’t enabled the option for background effects remains inaccessible until the camera is off.
