Ever since it became the center of attraction for meetings, classes, and other interactions, Microsoft Teams has received timely updates and updates from Microsoft. To make sure that users enjoy holidays even during work from home schedules, Microsoft has launched a new set of custom background images for Microsoft Teams.

While many of these custom backgrounds are themed after the holiday season, others are not. Since Microsoft has published this collection without any restrictions, people other than those who use Microsoft Teams can also use the background pictures.
Users can also upload their favorite custom background gallery to create a tailor-made working environment on Teams. Given that Microsoft has been quite serious about celebrating the holiday season online, this is a move that non-Teams users would also love. Microsoft has also set up a dedicated web page for the custom background collection.
Custom backgrounds gallery for Microsoft Teams launched
On this website, you can view the background images designed by the Microsoft design team and the ones uploaded by fellow community members. On a related note, if you are interested in creating a unique custom background for your devices, you can upload some of them to the platform.
The backgrounds are stored in this folder:
%AppData%\Microsoft\Teams\Backgrounds
You should also note that the custom backgrounds posted by Microsoft are of very high quality. Even more so, you can use these custom background images on Teams without needing advanced stuff like Chrome keying or a green screen. Some of the powerful algorithms on the Teams applications ensure this.
The company repeats that adding more and more background images over time makes it a repository worth checking out. Microsoft is also encouraging organizations to develop and deploy custom-made backgrounds to express their internal teams’ digital identity and spirit, regardless of whether they are thousands of kilometers apart.
On the same page, Microsoft is offering a few tips to organize a holiday party at your organization using the Microsoft Teams platform as the channel. In related news, Microsoft Teams announced several holiday-oriented features in the past week.
Features like the Breakout Room and Together Scenes in the new package have been designed to improve in-organization morale, among other things.
