Hi!

I'm Jesryl an independent advisor. and a Microsoft user like you. Sorry to hear about this news, but let me try and help.

Right now we can't have custom background or even predefined ones. Microsoft announced they will release it within the quarter so well just have to wait.

What we have at the moment is a background blur.

Hi Jesryl,

I have a Microsoft Surface and a Lenovo Surface clone both with the same version of Teams installed (1.3.00.8863). The Lenovo has the option for custom backgrounds whereas the Microsoft Surface doesn't. How is this possible?

Kind regards,

Azat
