Microsoft Teams backgrounds by Canva

Even as the world returns to its usual pace, companies and schools still see value in continuing a hybrid of the online and physical spaces. Virtual meetings are here to stay, but that doesn’t mean it has to feel dry and disengaged. If you have been blurring your background or using underwater loops to hide your messy home office, it’s probably time to find something more exciting and practical.

Canva’s Microsoft Teams background templates offer tasteful designs, as well as productive and engaging ways for holding meetings. Each template is fully customizable in your dashboard. Add frames to your design, resize shapes, and change the preset background. Browse our media library for hundreds of free images for your Microsoft Teams virtual background.

Educators can use our templates as a virtual blackboard to post the day’s activities and lessons. Add an extra placeholder of text using the drag-and-drop tool for the classroom’s Word of the Day. Small teams in offices can use our templates to keep their huddle meetings snappy and efficient. Jot down the talking points before the session so that everyone stays focused on the agenda. Company webinars and conferences can feel more energetic and engaged by adding a hashtag in the background. Browse our sticker gallery for callouts to highlight the key message of the event. Create a custom Microsoft Teams background template for everyone in the office using the organization’s branding. Each person can have a personal background with their name and role while still looking cohesive with the rest of the group.

When you’re done editing, directly save the file to your OneDrive or freely download your Microsoft Teams background templates to your desktop. Canva will keep your design for as long as you need it so that you can update the relevant details in your template before your next class or team huddle. Now, no one can say that you’ve been using the same pixelated beach photo for the past six months.
