Microsoft Teams is set to introduce a feature called “decorate your space in Teams Meetings,” allowing users to enhance and personalize their backgrounds during video calls. While Microsoft has not provided detailed information about this feature, it is expected to enable users to edit and customize their backgrounds more creatively. This update is scheduled to launch in September 2023.
However, there’s a significant caveat: the “decorate your space in Teams Meetings” feature will be available exclusively to Microsoft Teams Premium users. Microsoft Teams Premium is a subscription offering that includes various advanced features and enhancements for a monthly fee. This move follows Microsoft’s strategy to introduce premium features to enhance the Teams experience for paid subscribers.
In addition to this upcoming feature, Microsoft has been continuously improving its Teams background options, including adding new templates and categories to make video calls more engaging. Microsoft Teams is a widely used video conferencing and collaboration platform, and these updates aim to enhance user experiences and productivity during virtual meetings.
