Microsoft Teams Christmas and Holiday Backgrounds

    Why Do Microsoft Teams Holiday Backgrounds Matter?

    Whether you're working from home, in a hotel room, or at the office, share the joys of the holiday season by adding a festive and professional background to your next Microsoft Teams meeting!

    Our playful backgrounds are great for your less formal meetings. They can work well for your online social get-togethers and impromptu conversations with colleagues. Besides, no one wants to use the same stock backgrounds at the holidays!

    Not sure how to change your Microsoft Teams background? It's easy to switch Teams backgrounds before you join a meeting.

    Your company may have guidance on what is considered acceptable as a background for meetings. Be sure to check out your policies.

    Also, test new backdrops to see how they work with your clothing and lighting. Access your camera settings in Teams to adjust for brightness, contrast, saturation, and color balance.
