Adding new wallpapers to teams on MAC

In Teams, you can choose to add different background images to be displayed when you are in a digital meeting. The Communication Unit has developed a number of different backgrounds that you can add. Here is how you do it!

  1. Launch Teams.
  2. Open the calendar via Teams.
  3. Enter an upcoming, old or start a brand new team meeting in the calendar
  4. Then click on Connect
  5. If the Team Camera is not on, click the ‘Camera’ slider to switch the camera on. You should then be able to see yourself.
  6. Then click on the link ‘Background filter’
  7. Then click on the ‘Add new’ options in the top right of the meeting window that opens up.
  8. On your computer’s hard drive, locate the folders called Library/UMU/Zoom and Teams Backgrounds/
  9. Once you have reached the last folder, just select the UMU background you want to use in the meeting.
  10. Select the desired image and click open. Note that you can only add one background at a time.
  11. Now you can either close down the Team Meeting or choose to Connect now with the new background image.
  12. Done!
