Select a scheduled meeting to join in Teams. Note that it’s essential for the meeting to be a scheduled one.
Press the Join button, which will open the video settings shown directly below Microsoft teams how to blur background
Then toggle the middle slider option to activate background blur. That should blur the background in the video before users select to join the meeting.
Press the Join now button.
Users can still blur videos’ backgrounds after joining meetings. To do that, click the … dots button to open a menu as in the snapshot directly below.Blur my background option Microsoft teams how to blur background
Click the Show background option.
Users can Add or remove the background effect by clicking the … button and selecting the Show background option.
That’s all users need to do to enable the blurred background effect in Microsoft Teams. Some users might consider blurred backgrounds to be more of a gimmick, but they might sometimes come in handy for video calls.

So, if you want to avoid any embarrassing moments during video conferences, go ahead and Change your background before joining the call.
