Summary
Microsoft Teams now allows iOS users to change their background or blur it while recording. The feature rollout will start in early May 2024 and end by late October 2024. No preparation is needed for this update, but informing users is suggested.

More Information

Users can now record themselves anywhere and share it with coworkers in the Microsoft Teams chat or channel without worrying about the background. Users can now change their background to any image they want or make the background blurry while recording using their Microsoft Teams camera on iOS devices.  When this will happen: General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High and DoD): We will begin rolling out early May 2024 (previously late March) and expect to complete by late October 2024 (previously early September). How this will affect your organization: Users will get an option to change their background to any image they want or make the background blurry while recording using their Microsoft Teams camera on an iOS device. To use this feature: Press and hold the camera icon next to the Compose box and then tap the blur icon to the right of the shutter button. You can then choose either an image to replace the background or choose to mildly or heavily blur your background. What you need to do to prepare: No action is needed to prepare for this change. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation as appropriate.
