Hi,
The feature "Show background effects" seems to not be present in linux.
Please add this feature for the linux client as well.
Hi, I just published the code to replace the background with an arbitrary image on Linux as I needed same feature. I ran it on the GPU, didn't test it on CPU - hope it helps!

Hi IdaeLund-2924!
You can vote for it in Teams UserVoice. The link is:

Your kindly response will improve user experience with our product.
Upwote this, now it is not so high.
Hallo,
is this comming for Linux also ?
While waiting for the feature to show up, you could use a 3rd party software called OBS (Open Broadcast System) which is also available for Linux.
By that, you can create a scene where you can select different layouts and things to show in scheme.
Then in Teams, just select OBS Camera as a camera device in settings and you're all done.
You could also create an animated background in case you have a "green screen" for static one-color background.
Youtube has plenty of helpful tips of OBS usage.
As we wait for this feature to be supported in Linux, here is a temporary solution that leverages Tensorflow Bodypix and OpenCV https://askubuntu.com/a/1255945/231735
I would inform you that the snap version of the unofficial Teams for Linux now supports background effects!
Well, the unofficial Teams is just the web app wrapped up as an electron app. Not quite the same thing; I do not think you can work with it in the same way as the client. I am uncertain why I would use that one instead of the web app, which works just as well.
