Using custom backgrounds on Microsoft Teams is a great way to personalize a meeting or video call. It allows you to add a fun or professional background to your video feed without having to use a green screen. Custom background support is already available on the desktop version of Teams, and it’s on its way to the iOS version of Teams as well.
According to the Microsoft 365 roadmap, custom background support for Teams on iOS is in development and could arrive as soon as this month. As is always the case with the Microsoft 365 roadmap, dates are subject to change.
While you can’t use custom backgrounds quite yet on Teams for iOS, you can use the app to blur your background within video calls and meetings. This feature rolled out last year and allows you to hide what’s behind you on a call.
While Teams does a good job of blurring or switching out backgrounds on the desktop, you can get better results with NVIDIA Broadcast. You have to have one of the best graphics cards, but if you have the right setup, it can create incredibly crisp video streams. It can also reduce background noise.
