We are able to create the announcement post with custom image/banner but with the latest version of teams- 1.6.00.12405 (64-bit), the feature to upload custom image/banner is no longer available.

Any workaround to bring back the feature?

    Yes, same issue here. Looks like they removed the background image functionality. Extremely disappointing.

    Can you just let people put their own images up. You have to be kidding?

    It seems that the recent update of Teams (classic) client removed a feature from announcements as well.

    In the Google Chrome Teams web you can click New Conversation - then edit the type to Announcement and replace the image banner with either a solid color or a custom image.

    In the updated Teams (classic) client, Teams New client, as well as Teams web in Microsoft Edge, the New conversation button is replaced with Start a new post and the custom background seems gone.

    The experience of the Web client is furthermore not consistent between different users & computers.

    I understand that I am part of early access group so new features or the removal of those might be happening, but my users are not within preview so they should not be affected, however it seems the feature was removed even in the classic Teams client as well.
