    Just download snapcamera and use one of their blurred backgrounds.  Shows what a joke Microsoft are.

    Thanks for the tip. I saw this and immediately tried Snap Camera. I used it with MS Teams and it worked great. Problem solved. It does a lot more than a simple blur or static background image. I tried several "lenses" and my co-workers found them entertaining. I really only needed to blur the background or use an image, something MS can't seem to get done for those with hardware thats a little older.  Snap Camera does it better and for free and on my non-AVX2 cpu.

    I have looked at snapcamera's website, but what I don't see is how to get any such effect or image into Teams - do you have to have backgrounds working already in order to use this? My problem is no backgrounds show, only a white panel with nothing to choose in it - so frustrating!

    My problem is a little different. I used the custom background workaround and I can use my own images if I'm in my own organization hosting a call. But I cannot use my custom backgrounds if I am a guest in another organization's mtg invite...which is all the time. Does MS plan to make the custom background feature available for all mtg attendees, in or out of organization?
