Greetings!
My co-workers have options for Brightness and Soft Focus on their Teams and neither of these appear to be options for me in my Teams video settings. I'm on a Mac Studio with the M1Max chip. Microsoft Teams Version 1.5.00.28558. It was last updated on 11/1/22. Ideas welcome!
Managing sound and video settings during Teams meetings and calls for optimal communication

Thank you for the confirmation! I was almost considering upgrading to a business license so thank you for saving me the extra money.
You know I was recently looking into this issue again... after doing tons of searching I found an obscure comment on another person's post that suggested the reason this feature is unavailable is not because it's a mac issue but rather because those camera settings are only available if you have a business license for Office365. It stated that the free version, education licenses, and personal licenses do not offer these settings. Can anyone confirm if that is accurate?
I also had an O365 business license, so that isn't the cause.
I have a business license for Microsoft 365, and I do not have soft focus on Teams. I have an M2 MacBook Air.

Agree completely.
