Adding new wallpapers to teams on PC

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 switched on, click on the ‘Camera’ button to switch on the camera. You should then be able to see yourself.
  6. Then click on the ‘Background filter’ link
  7. Then click on the ‘Add new’ option at the top right of the meeting window that opens up.
  8. On your computer’s hard drive, locate the folder called OSDisk (C:)
  9. After that, locate the folder called ZoomTeams Background. Then choose which 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. NOTE! If the image is mirrored for you, you need to change that setting in Teams. Go to Settings – select Devices, scroll down to the Video section and switch off mirroring.
  12. Now you can either close down the Team Meeting or choose to Connect now with the new background image.
  13. Done!
