Free Microsoft Teams Backgrounds: welcome to the Party, Microsoft

Microsoft recently announced a new feature allowing users to customize their virtual meeting backgrounds. This follows on the heels of virtual meeting competitor Zoom’s similar feature which has been wildly popular. We’ve created a repository of free Microsoft Teams Backgrounds and explain how to change your Microsoft Teams Background.

We all go remote and virtual meeting tech like Zoom and Microsoft Teams become more important than ever

In a matter of weeks, much of the white-collar global workforce moved to a work from model. As a consequence, the use of virtual team meetings skyrocketed. Zoom has been getting most of the press lately — both good and bad press — but Zoom isn’t the only game in town. Microsoft Teams is a major player in this space and has quietly been doing what Microsoft usually does: appeal to the corporate market who typically seeks stability, security, trustworthiness and ease of implementation.

Many of those same companies already have made sizable investments in Microsoft products including Office, Exchange, Windows, Sharepoint and more and the platform integrations between these products and Microsoft Teams was an easy sell.
