Microsoft Teams now allows Zoom-like custom backgrounds on video calls

The Microsoft Teams video meetings are getting more "fun, comfortable, and personal" with custom backgrounds and new features that users of its free version have been asking for a while. The trends have led Microsoft to "accelerate new features" that will help users customize their video experiences and make their video meetings more "productive, comfortable, and fun.

Along with the new background image features, Microsoft has also rolled out the option to schedule meetings as opposed to the sole "Meet Now" option for free users.
