Microsoft recently released a new feature that allows for custom background effects in Teams.

Click the ellipse button (…) on your screen during a meeting to access your menu, then select Show background effects.

A new pane will pop up on the right side of your screen (shown below) where pre-populated options will be available, but you can also select Add New and then upload an image of your choice. For free UWM backgrounds to add, please visit uwm.edu/pantherpride.

For more information, please review Microsoft’s article on custom backgrounds. If you have any questions relating to Teams, please call the UWM Help Desk at 414-229-4040 or visit uwm.edu/helpdesk.
