Remote work is growing increasingly popular with both employees and employers, but having much of a workforce located outside of an office can be challenging. In this free eBook discover how Microsoft Teams can help your organization transition to a modern, mobile workforce.

On a PC you can use
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Teams\Backgrounds\Uploads

Sometimes Appdata is hidden so you can do %appdata% in the file explorer and it'll take you directly to C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\

Not quite what you are advertising. The video title says "How to Create...". All you did was show how to upload. I expect in the 'create' version the 'how-to' create an image or more specifically, if there is a size preference of an image so that it doesn't get distorted. Or, how to make the image appear on one side. Do you have a video of that?

Would be nice to be able to configure this in general Teams settings rather than having to be within a meeting/call.

Also, what's an "App Data" folder. I have Wndows 10 and its not in the File Explorer

Sorry, that explanation was WAY too fast for us in the IT - challenged community.
