Add Chroma Key green screen feature to Microsoft Teams meetings/recordings, similar to blur feature
Would like to add Chroma Key green screen effect for Microsoft Teams Meet Now meetings and recordings, envision working similar to new Blur feature, want to key out green screen background and replace with an image and/or Microsoft Stream / YouTube video -tg

It's sad, I'm likely to get Zoom for my client meetings because of this.

MS Teams must be updated to allow for use of a green screen. The automatic background feature is annoying, creating halos and disappearing limbs. This should be a priority, since many are working at home.

I've started moving back towards Zoom for this feature, and their new feature that allows you to "float" in front of the slides like a newscaster. Teams works for collaboration with known colleagues, but not for more formal presentations or events. A couple enhancements, like this, would allow me to use Teams for most business needs.

The current feature to exchange the background is not professionally working. You still see artefacts even when using a solid colour real background like a green background as used in green screen techniques. Zoom does a fantastic job when you enable the green screen feature. Please add in addition what MS Teams offers to exchange the background a real green key chroma support as Zoom has.

I agree. MS TEAMS needs to add a setting to use an actual green screen for better virtual background results, like Zoom's setting. Otherwise, I'm not using TEAMS.

If the "intelligent" background video processing can almost work with no other help, it should be ***easy*** to add the ability to detect and use chroma key backgrounds (green, blue, or even other solid color regions).

I bought a green screen (confused by the availability of this feature in Zoom). However the performance in Teams with green background is worse than white, so my screen is sitting in a cupboard until this feature is developed, which is surely just a matter of time.

Unbelievable that this hasn't been done yet. This tiny addon would make Teams go from looking amature to professional

I'm with everyone - we're sold on Teams and still use Zoom for video meetings and webinars. With the addition of chroma key support, the transition from Zoom entirely to Teams is a no brainer!

This will be great feature! Currently we can't seem to do this and I am using OBS to do it but the problem is when you stream to Teams during the meeting, it doesn't full-screen the video screen if there are multiple attendees present.

Not a complete fix but if you want Teams to do a better job at removing the background, use a white background or some other solid light color. It seems like it makes it easier to for Teams to separate you from the background. Even if you can only do this with your head and shoulders, it helps.

If you do have a green screen (for zoom calls) and then use teams with a virtual background, it helpfully draws a green fringe under your hairline. Awesome if you want to cosplay as Shrek, but not so awesome for non-halloween work.

ZOOM is the Benchmark for using Greenscreen technology. TEAMS works only as a basis if you don't have something better. It works only if you don't have a background which is too close. TEAMS also cuts off your hands if you move them too far infront of your face.
Microsoft: Do it better! Look to ZOOM with the integrated Greenscreen enable button. -

It is unbelievable that Teams gets so many Office collaboration features, but the work on actually professionalizing the meeting experience seems so lackluster.
Most importantly, chromakey/green screen for good presentations, and actual full screen for people who want to work on a project together.
It's almost like Teams meetings are only intended for people who just want to look at each other's faces all day, and the rest of the content quality is just blatantly ignored. It holds both technical co-workers (development teams!) and trainers/speakers back in actually using this tool.
The weird thing is, I'm sure MS has *plenty* of those on payroll... They must have these same concerns. Don't they actually use Teams? Or are they just ignored by the product owner?

This feature would be great, instead of using OBS to create a Chroma Key filter or switch entirely to Zoom. Thanks

Especially in this day and age, Microsoft Teams needs to add the Chroma Key green screen effect. The Teams virtual background still shows so much of the actual room and is spotty. I have a green screen I would love to use with Teams to have much better picture and privacy in meetings. Zoom seems ahead of the technology on this one, would love to see Teams catch up quickly!!
