As we all now settle into remote working, Microsoft Teams has become the go-to platform to participate in video conferences / meetings.
Turning on your camera during a meeting holds participants more accountable for engaging during discussions, can reduce the feeling of isolation and can make meetings feel less formal providing a much more relaxed environment. However, people may be reluctant to join a video call or switch their camera on if their environment is distracting or messy.
With multiple background options to choose form, you can now blur your background – subtly concealing everything behind you that you don’t want others to see or alternatively you can insert a background image from the Microsoft Teams gallery to restrict what others see and add a little fun to your meeting!
Find out how to change your Microsoft Teams background during a call by following the steps within the #8 Changing your background settings during Microsoft Teams calls (video tutorial) or read step by step instructions here.
