Microsoft Teams: Upload custom backgrounds for Teams events

Microsoft 365 Message Center Archive by Merill Fernando

Summary

Organizers and presenters who have access to production tools can now upload custom backgrounds in the "Manage what attendees see" experience for Teams events. This enhancement allows organizations to display their brand identity by replacing the default backgrounds with their own images, such as company logos, event-specific artwork, or themed visuals. Custom backgrounds appear behind presenters and content, giving attendees a polished viewing experience. This feature is available for Teams events organizers with a Teams Premium license. This feature is available on Teams for Windows desktop and Mac desktop.
