Microsoft Teams has introduced a new feature to elevate your meeting and call experience – the frosted glass background effect. This feature allows users to customize their Teams meetings with a professional and visually appealing touch. Whether you’re an individual user or a Teams Premium administrator, you can take advantage of this feature to enhance your virtual meetings.
One key aspect of this feature is the ability to transform transparent PNG images into frosted glass backgrounds. By using your company’s logo with a transparent background, you can create a branded and polished look for your Teams calls. The frosted glass effect adds elegance and ensures that your logo stands out, giving your meetings a professional touch.
With strategic logo placement on transparent backgrounds, you have the flexibility to position your logo anywhere to enhance visibility. This customization allows you to align your Teams calls with your company’s branding guidelines, creating a cohesive look and feel for your meetings.
For a professional and clean video appearance, you can also use non-transparent images to brand your meetings. The frosted glass effect creates a natural look, similar to a corner office with a frosted glass wall, ensuring that you and your background share consistent lighting conditions. By using the “adjust brightness” filter in Teams video settings, you can further enhance your video appearance across different platforms.
Moreover, you can choose different frosted glass backgrounds for different teams within your organization, allowing each team to have a unique identity while maintaining an overall cohesive brand. Teams admins can enforce specific background effects to ensure consistency across all Teams calls, maintaining a professional and unified appearance for virtual meetings.
To get started with frosted glass backgrounds, users can follow the instructions on the Microsoft Teams support page for custom meeting backgrounds. Teams admins can deploy frosted glass backgrounds company-wide, while individual users can manually upload transparent logos to achieve the frosted glass effect for their meetings. Consider acquiring a Microsoft Teams Premium license to access these advanced features and elevate your virtual meetings.
