Teams – You can now set your background in Teams meeting

After allowing you to blur the background when joining a Teams meeting, you can now set your own background (well quite not fully yours).

You can now choose from a pre defined set of backgrounds – being able to set your own is coming soon.

To set your background just hit the Options (…) button and choose Show background effects, you can then choose from a pre defined list of backgrounds
