It's #BlackandGoldFriday, so it feels like the perfect time to make our virtual selves as spirited as they are IRL.
Next time you have a video meeting, try out some of the pretty UMBC backgrounds available on the Brand & Style Guide. You'll even find a new one that gives a welcome to new students!
Not sure how to change your background in Teams? Here are some easy steps to follow. (Don't worry, this will work in Zoom, too.)
-
Download the background image you like best from the page above.
-
When you’re in a meeting in Teams, click on “Audio & Video”, and then click on “change virtual background.”
- A box will come up with background options, but ours won’t be there, so click on the box with the big + inside it, and from there you can upload the image you downloaded earlier.
- Enjoy chatting with your friends knowing that your new background will hide all the messes that piled up in your office this week. :)
Happy Friday!
