Microsoft Teams background effects is now generally available on Azure Virtual Desktop
We are happy to announce that Teams background effects is generally available on Azure Virtual Desktop.
Now, users can make meetings more personalized and avoid unexpected distractions by applying background effects. Meeting participants can select one of the available images to change their background or choose to blur their background. Background effects helps to keep the focus on the conversation while bringing new ways to meet face to face. Background blur subtly conceals everything in the background while the participant’s silhouette remains clear and isolated.

The minimum WebSocket service version required is 1.1.2111.01001, and the minimum Windows Desktop Client version is 1.2.3004. Please refer to Change your background for a Teams meeting on how to turn on background effects.
Note: Blurring your background might not prevent sensitive information from being visible to other people in the call or meeting.
