#Background effects microsoft teams how to#

If its hammering them on social media sites, they are a tech company and should be expecting it.

If its calling MS Customer Service, I'm up for that. If enough of us complain, they will change. Perhaps its a video on YouTube ranting on the issue and showing it to the world.

That said, I don't know how to get on the band wagon or rally the troops to drive Microsoft to make this fix available ASAP.

You certainly can make out details over time with the blur function. However, blurring does not truly hide a background entirely. I get that MS Teams is part of Microsoft and they command of the Office environment with their suite of products. This will eventually lead to firms dumping MS Teams if enough of us reject it as a viable meeting software. If I can't control the background beyond blur I may no longer be willing to interview with 'MS Teams' utilizing companies. As you’re working from home, you can use Microsoft Teams background effects to limit distractions or infuse personality into your video meetings. To me, this is a huge disadvantage to Microsoft as a meeting software. After I delete and re-install teams, I have no Blur and Background effect options anymore. I don't believe that the meeting hosting company is choosing to push this onto its meeting attendees. Hi, I used to use the blur and background effects perfectly fine. However, after meeting with two different firms on Teams as a guest, I'm starting to think this is systemic. As you would guess, blur and nothing else. A family member ran a test meeting with me so I could get my background options updated sort of as a dry run. Note: no upload option was available and I'm running the application installed on my PC, not thru a browser window only.Īt first, I thought the background issue was being driven by a setting of the Teams Meeting hosting company. The blur option was the only option available to me in the background function. Today I was a guest in a Teams meeting for a job interview. All, it should come as no surprise that this issues persists a year later from post.
