#Microsoft teams default background images license

Microsoft introduced the Advanced Communications license in July 2020, but many of the features covered then are now available in mainline Teams, like large meetings with overflow capabilities. Advanced Communications?Ĭorporate backgrounds aren’t the only feature enabled through the Teams Advanced Communications license. Perhaps that capability will come later, but there’s no trace of it in the preview or in Microsoft 365 roadmap item 80193. There’s no way for an organization to restrict user choice to its images. When your images are ready, select Customize meeting images (Figure 1) to upload your images.įigure 4: Organization images are amongst those available to Teams mobile users Pretty well every device capable of capturing a digital photo today creates images with more pixels, so I use the Windows Paint utility to resize to 1920 x 1280 pixels. The ideal size image size is 1920 x 1280 pixels with a maximum of 3840 x 2160, less than 10 MB, JPEG or PG format. Organizations can upload up to 50 images through the meeting policies section of the Teams admin center. You know, pictures like carefully framed photos of the corporate HQ with the logo prominent in the foreground. Nice as it is to be able to use your own photo in meetings, organizations have long asked to be able to distribute a set of curated backgrounds to users. Custom images are either created by the user or downloaded from a photo library, like Microsoft’s Teams custom backgrounds gallery. If allowed by the VideoFiltersMode setting in the meeting policy assigned to their accounts, users can also upload custom images and use those.

Teams users can use background images in a kind of green screen effect during meetings.

Roll-out of the preview is ongoing and is due to complete in early July. Message center notification MC249777 (April 9, updated May 25) covers the introduction of organization-wide background images for Microsoft Teams.
