Microsoft Teams Acquires Green Screen Feature

Microsoft added a green screen feature in Teams to provide an enhanced virtual background effect during meetings.

"Microsoft Teams now supports a green screen feature which provides an enhanced virtual background effect," Jan Steberl, Microsoft Teams program manager, noted in a blog post.

The green screen reinforces the sharpness and definition of the virtual background effect around the user’s face, head, ears, and hair.

It also enables you to show a prop or other object in your hand to be more visible to other meeting participants.

"The screen or background wall must be flat without stains or other irregularities. Users must apply a background effect in Teams meetings to enable the green screen effect and should carefully select the backdrop color so that the effect is applied correctly and better quality is achieved," Microsoft said.

Meanwhile, the new feature is available for everyone in the public preview channel of Microsoft Teams.

Furthermore, the tech firm highlighted that the feature is only supported on Windows and macOS devices with Intel chips.
