I have deleted teams and reinstalled several times. There is no teams int he library/application support/microsoft as is often suggested. I have a background image that is a picture that I took and uploaded. I can add other backgrounds, but when i select NONE it is still the same image. I can work around by having another background, but when i try to adjust greenscreen settting it is screwing withthe background. How can I clear this background image?

    When you turn off the background in Teams, the Facetime Camera settings apply. Go to the top menu bar and click the Facetime Camera to open it's settings. You now have all controls available from there.Screenshot 2026-03-17 at 8.00.32

    This worked for me when nothing else would ....

    % cd ~/Library/Containers/
rm -fr com.microsoft.teams2
rm -fr com.microsoft.teams2.agent
rm -fr com.microsoft.teams2.notificationcenter
rm -fr com.microsoft.teams2.respawn
rm -fr com.microsoft.teams2.widgetextension
