    1. Open Microsoft Teams on your computer.
    2. Before starting a meeting, turn on your camera and select Background filters.
    3. Select Add new and then select the picture you want to use from your computer. Make sure it's a .JPG, .PNG, or .BMP file.
    4. Select Preview to see how your chosen background looks before you apply it, and then select Apply.

    Alternatively, you can also follow these steps:
