We are trying to upload 1920 x 1080 custom backgrounds and we are getting an error message saying invalid size. Testing other sizes, anything square 1:1 works but gets cropped in the viewer. We also tried 1280 x 800, but same gets cropped. There isn't mention of this update in any of the update logs. What is the correct size, is there a template to follow to know what gets cropped?

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I talked with Microsoft support today, and they are aware of the issue, which was caused by their latest update. They haven't bothered to show it in M365 as a current issue, but they said that it will be fixed in the next Teams update. No timeframe on that.

Agreed, downgrading to an older version should not be a fix. With our environment and patching regularly with thousands of computers; it doesn't work for us. Microsoft needs to fix the bug.
I have not received an official MS solution to this issue as if yet, March 20, 2025.
We are still receiving the error when trying to upload 1920 x 1080. For a temporary fix, our team is exporting images out in the 1200 pixel size (1200 x 675, 1280 x 720). The viewing window is in 16:9 ratio and these smaller sizes are uploading without issue.
Reverting back to an older version of teams worked for you? I did mention in my reports that it was with the new update.
Unfortunately we can't revert back versions, our corporate way of working is locked down.
We have fixed the Problem, uninstall Teams and downloading the act. Version with ending .2155 from Download Microsoft Teams Desktop and Mobile Apps | Microsoft Teams. Than the backgrounds works.
That is not a "fix" it is a workaround. This is not practical when you have several thousand users on a mix of PC and Macs and they dont have admin rights.
