How to add a background image on your desktop computer:

(Please note you can only do this when you are about to join a meeting)

Click on your preferred image and save it to your computer.
Before your meeting begins, click 'Join meeting' (either in the meeting invitation calendar item, or in the Microsoft Teams pop up) and select 'Background filters'.
The 'Background settings' menu will appear.
Select 'Add new' to upload your image from your computer (.JPG, .PNG, or .BMP formats only).
Your new image will be applied, and it will become your default background until you change it again.
Click 'Join now' to begin your meeting.

IMPORTANT: The Team Teesside logo and hashtag will appear back-to-front as you look at the screen but don't worry, everything will appear the right way round to the other people on your video.

Team Teesside is about raising aspirations, widening access and giving individuals the tools needed to reach more meaningful careers, providing them and their families with a better future quality of life.

Luke Cumiskey, International Recruitment Assistant, Department for International Development

To me, Team Teesside means family. In my 12 years here, from my car journey to work and the walk up to my office, every passing colleague feels like family - from distant relatives to close siblings. Every member of Team Teesside to me is reflective of family and the values we live and breathe reflect this.

Gary Singh, Deputy Director of Legal and Governance Services, Legal & Governance Services

Team Teesside has given me the opportunity for me to work somewhere for over 20 years, with talented friends who want the best for the each other, the University, the town and the region. There’s nowhere else I’d rather work and no other colleagues would could compare. Long may it continue.

Sarah Smith, Marketing Co-ordinator, Student Recruitment & Marketing

Team Teesside is about working together to provide the best for our current and prospective students, to give them an experience they will always remember. It's also about colleagues and creating an enjoyable workplace. It's making Teesside the best place it can be. It's about achieving and celebrating success.
