The purpose of funny Microsoft Teams backgrounds

Put a smile on your meeting attendees’ faces with funny Microsoft Teams backgrounds. For example, join your meeting from the stands of a hockey game or in the crowd at a music festival! Having a funny background can also help eliminate some meeting anxiety. 

Additionally, for icebreakers, funny Microsoft Teams backgrounds are a great conversation starter and team-bonding activity. For instance, ask meeting attendees to come prepared to your next Microsoft Teams meeting with the event to which they would most like to go next from the list below as their background!

While the purpose of funny Microsoft Teams backgrounds is ultimately to add a little fun to your meeting, it’s important to know when it is appropriate to use them. For example, they may be worth using during a casual team meeting or team bonding event, but aren’t quite appropriate during formal business meetings or one-on-ones.
