Office backgrounds for Teams
An office background for Teams is a 1920x1080 photo of a workspace that you upload under Effects and avatars. Pick one with a plain wall behind head height — a busy office scene makes the cutout edge flicker.

Only 3 backgrounds here yet — it needs 6. Until then the page is set to noindex and left out of the sitemap, so it is not asking Google to rank a page with nothing on it. It starts indexing itself as soon as the images land.
Picking one that works
This is the most commercially valuable cluster in the category — advertisers bid more on office and meeting background terms than on anything else, by a wide margin.
The useful ones are boring on purpose. A neutral wall, some depth, and nothing directly behind where your head sits. Fake bookshelves and glass-walled boardrooms photograph well and cut out badly.
Whatever you choose, the setup is the same in every app: Teams, Zoom and Google Meet each hide the option in a different menu, and all three want the same 1920 x 1080 file.
Common questions
What makes a good office background for Teams?
Calm space at head height, moderate contrast, and real depth rather than a flat photo. Anything cluttered right at your outline is what produces the shimmering halo around your shoulders.
Are office backgrounds better than blurring?
Blur is safer and costs less processing power. An office image is better when your real room would distract — but a bad office image is more distracting than a blurred wall.
