Ever wanted an animated background in your video during a Microsoft Teams conference call? Rogier Dijkman figured out how to do it – here’s a quick synopsis:
- Take any animated GIF file, such as ANIMATED.GIF & rename it to ANIMATED.PNG. (You can convert any video file to animated GIFs at http://makeagif.com.)
- Make a copy of ANIMATED.PNG & call it ANIMATED_thumb.PNG. (Add the text “_thumb” to the end of the file name in lowercase or this won’t work)
- Copy BOTH files to:
%AppData%\Microsoft\Teams\Backgrounds\Uploads - Start a Teams meeting & turn on your camera. Click the Ellipsis (…) & select “Apply Background Effects”.
- Select the Animated Background to enable it.
I’ve created a collection of 10 animated backgrounds for Microsoft Teams to get you started:
