Hi, I need assistance changing the Microsoft Teams background to default automatically without each employee having to prompt the action every time a meeting starts. This needs to be done remotely for all employees in the organization. Thanx looking forward to your response.

    Hi Loyiso,

    I'm Ahmed and I am here & happy to help.

    Days ago, this feature was not officially available in MS Teams -There were only some potential workarounds-, now it is official!

    In TAC (Teams Admin Center https://admin.teams.microsoft.com/) > Customize your meetings with your organization's logo, colors, or other visuals. Customization policies are available for meeting organizers with a *Teams Premium* or Advanced Communications license. (Screenshot attached)

    (You don't need to do all these steps, only choose the one you find easier)

    Hi Loyiso,

    Based on your scenario there can be lot of solutions, however I'll give you the most common one which you can try and see if it works or not.

    Clear Teams cache by using these steps in Windows:

    1. If Teams is still running then right-click on the Teams icon in the taskbar, and select Quit.
    2. Open the Run dialog box by pressing the Windows logo key Image +R.
    3. In the Run dialog box, enter this %appdata%\Microsoft\Teams, and then click OK.
    4. Delete all the files and folders you'll see in the %appdata%\Microsoft\Teams directory.
    5. Restart Pc and also Teams.

    If the above doesn't solve your problem then the next best solution is to clear windows Credential Manager:

    As deleting your locally stored credentials sometimes solves this issue

    1. Open the Control Panel and navigate to the User Accounts.
    2. Then click on Credential Manager and select your windows credentials.
    3. Move down to Generic Credentials and see where is your Office credentials.
    4. Then you'll see MicrosoftAccount:user and click Remove.
    5. Restart Pc and also Teams.

    Don't worry it'll not cause any problems with your account. Hope it helps.

    Warm Regards
