UPDATED It looks like this is in the process of being rolled out or at least actively tested. If you have the version with the option to select a background image, custom images can be added. Save your image /s in the Uploads folder below C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME_HERE\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Teams\Backgrounds\Uploads Then, in teams while on a call; click the 'More Actions' (Three Dots) at the bottom, select 'Show Background Effects' The pictures you added should show up on the right hand side of the screen with the default options from Microsoft.

Dear all I am unable to make the Outlook plugin work for one of our employees. I know where the plugin-in is located on the computer and when I add it manually - nothing happens. I have also reformatted the entire computer but to no avail. Can other plugins interfere with the proper loading of the Teams plugin? Do you have any suggestions on what I can do?

We run afterschool programs that rely heavily on volunteers. We have about two to three students in a group with each volunteer. Each group has been given their own link, however our program coordinator, who was the organizer of each group/teams meeting, has to go to every link to allow them into the meeting. We have clicked on the meeting preferences to allow everyone in without having to wait in the lobby, however unless the meeting organizer is present, they still have to sit in the lobby. Is there anyway to change that?Solved378KViews0likes22CommentsHow to set a reminder in Teams
hi All, when I send an e-mail, I often " attach" a reminder to it because I would like to be reminded of my e-mail in order to check if the recipient has gotten back to me. This allows me to shoot but not forget 🙂 As teams is gaining ground in our organisation I'm trying to find similar feature as I'm not able to keep track of posts by just scrolling through them every time... Any ideas how I can be reminded of posts I did? Any feedback is welcome Regards charles342KViews2likes8Comments
