After re-reading original I see it what they were getting at but could have been worded better!Īpat 10:43 am Didn’t work for me and I work with computers lol. ![]() the first time you need to rename the gif to for example “Name.jpg” and then duplicate this gif and name it “Name_thumb.jpg” (renaming both as png worked as well) … finally it works. But then I realized you need your file 2 times in the same “background” folder. However, I was not able to actually apply the background to my videoĭecemat 3:37 am First it didn’t work for me either, because I misread the instructions. Novemat 2:12 pm I also got the message that it “couldn’t add background”, but when I scrolled down in the options it was there (successfully showing as a gif). Novemat 1:16 pm Are you uploading it via the UI, or are you adding it to the folder as described in this post? I tried restarting Microsoft teams and it still didn’t work.

I made sure teams was closed when I loaded the images.Īugat 9:20 am Thanks for taking the time to add that, Sven! Previously posted in WordPress and transferred to Ghost.Īugat 9:01 am Just to complete the answer – the path to the background-images on a Windows-System: %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Teams\Backgrounds\Uploads It won't be animated in the gallery there, but once you click it, you'll see it move in the camera preview.
