Hello,

I would like to add some of my own backgrounds to select from inside of Microsoft Teams and delete some of the default backgrounds offered. I would like for this to be done for the Team I work with and not just myself. If someone can please give me advice on how this can be done, it would be much appreciated

    Yes, it will be available to all users

    No, you cannot delete a default, just add a customized from a uploaded file.

    Thanks, Igor. If I were to upload a photo from my desktop, does that make it available to other users?

    Also, if I want to delete some of the default backgrounds that Microsoft provides, can that be done?
