But I want to show you another way – a way which means you DON’T have to repackage scripts and images each time you want to send out a new background to your Teams users.

Shall I just create a batch file and package it with an image using IntuneWinAppUtil to copy the image file to the users %AppData% folder? Sure – perfectly reasonable. There are many ways to cook this beast, was using Intune so I pondered. That is a cool feature right there – but as Admins we always ask “How do I automate this for my users? %AppData%\Microsoft\Teams\Backgrounds\Uploads The Next Level What some eagle eyed cherries started to realise is that you could add your own backgrounds to Teams by placing your background/s in the following folder Towards the end of March/beginning of April 2020 we were able to use custom backgrounds in our Microsoft Teams meetings – whaaaa I hear you cry! Microsoft announced a new background feature within Microsoft Teams. did a shout out on Twitter so I thought I’d bring this post forward and show you how you can deploy a PowerShell script from Intune to install a custom background for your Microsoft Teams users! Custom Backgrounds for Teams? This one has been in my blog queue for a while.
