Using Green Screen in Microsoft Teams
Improve your video quality in Microsoft Teams meetings with green screen. Use green screen during your meeting to sharpen how you look against a virtual background and move or use props without distorting it.
Apply green screen
To start using green screen in Teams, you’ll need to be in front of a solid-colored background with appropriate lighting. Then, enable and configure it in your Teams settings.
To apply green screen:
-
Join your meeting in Teams.
-
On the pre-join screen, select Effects and avatars
-
In Devices, turn the Green screen toggle on.
-
In your screen preview, make sure the color detected is accurate. If it’s not, select the box in your screen preview to pick your background color.
-
Select your background with the color dropper to pick the color and configure your green screen.
-
Close your settings to return to the pre-join screen.
-
Select Join now to enter your meeting with green screen applied.
Note: Note: If you want to use green screen on multiple devices, you’ll need to enable it on each device.
Change green screen settings
Once you enable and configure green screen, it’ll be applied to all your future meetings automatically. Configure a new background, or turn green screen off completely, by changing green screen settings.
To change green screen settings in Teams:
-
Select Settings and more
-
Select Devices > Green screen.
-
To reconfigure a new background, select the box in your screen preview to pick your background color with the color dropper.
-
To turn off the green screen, turn the Green screen toggle off
Your changes will be applied automatically.
