How can we make Microsoft Teams better?

Allow iPad/iOS/Android users to change their background on a Teams call

At the moment iPad/iOS/Android users cannot change their background during a MS Teams call. It would be great if we get that functionality available for all users so we can use theme backgrounds during meetings.

Thank you for your feedback! The background replacement feature for iOS is currently being tested internally. We will share an update as soon as one is available.

The feature team is also working on adding background replacement support for Teams calls and meetings on Android. We will share an update as soon as one is available.

For the separate feature ask for Android background blur, please track and upvote https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103/suggestions/40203496.

    I keep forgetting Teams doesn't have a background on the Ipad all the time. Not nice from an aesthetic point of view.
    By the way, the reason why I need to have my meetings on the Ipad is because my PC can't handle Zoom meetings, even after we upgraded our Internet. It is a newer PC and I have no idea why Zoom meetings won't work (there is a very significant delay). So why can I have intelligible Zoom meetings on the Ipad, but not the PC, if they both use the same Internet?

    Thank you Alex. Looking forward to the option being available on Android

    I would certainly appreciate the option to obfuscate the background on Android, makes calling customers a lot easier. Thx

    This is also a question of privacy. I wonder wether lack of this feature is not actually a violation of GDPR principles.

    At the Movement Ipad /ios /Android user cannot change background during a MS teams call . It would be great if we get that functionality available for all users so we use background during meetings

    World book day today, all kids on computers changed their backgrounds to their favourite covers. Teacher couldn't understand why ours couldn't on iPads. Frustrating to have such a varied support for Teams features across devices when trying to work in groups or classes of people.

    I’m surprised that Microsoft don’t take this issue seriously as it is currently a safeguarding concern if users cannot change or at least blur their background!!!!

    says it was merged, but originally was asking for Android and Chromebook, not IOS/Ipad??
