Microsoft Teams has introduced a new feature to elevate your meetings and calls – 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 PNGs 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 virtual 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 by harmonizing the lighting conditions between the person and the background, similar to a corner office with a frosted glass wall. Participants can further enhance this effect by adjusting brightness in Teams video settings.
Different teams within your organization can have unique frosted glass backgrounds, allowing each team to have its own identity while maintaining an overall cohesive brand. Teams admins can enforce specific background effects to ensure consistency across all calls, maintaining a professional appearance for internal and external 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 these 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 for access to these advanced features and elevate your virtual meetings today.
