In 2020, LEGO shared a set of video call backgrounds built by fans and builders from the LEGO community: colorful rooms, offices and fantasy worlds made of bricks. Here is a selection and how to set them in the new Teams. The old method with the %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Teams\Backgrounds folder no longer works in the new Teams, and the original LEGO download page may no longer be online.
How to set a background
- Right-click an image below and choose Save image as.
- In the new Teams, open the pre-join screen of a meeting, or during the meeting select the arrow next to Camera.
- Choose Video effects and settings (the exact name can vary, for example Effects and avatars).
- Under Backgrounds, select Add new and pick your image.
- Select the background and choose Apply.
A landscape image of about 1920 × 1080 pixels works best. The images on this page are resized; for a sharper version, look up the photo on the original photo site. Note that an admin can turn off custom backgrounds, and with Teams Premium your organization can also provide official backgrounds. More in set a custom background in Teams.

Can I use them?
The backgrounds were shared for use in video calls. The rights remain with LEGO and the builders: don't use them in advertising or on your own website. Also see Christmas backgrounds for Teams.
