MS Teams - Change Your Background

Goal:

Provide instruction on how to blur your background in a Teams meeting. 

Change your background

Want to change or conceal what is behind you in a meeting? Teams enables you to add effects and hide your background

Note: Background blurring might not prevent sensitive information from being visible to other meeting participants.

Before the Meeting

To start a meeting with background blur, turn on the camera before you join and select "Effects and Avatars". This will open a menu and give you several options to hide your background and modify your picture.
