High-fidelity music mode enables Microsoft Teams users to experience greater sound experiences when sharing non-speech content such as live music, songs through other applications, or medical signals during a virtual appointment with a physician.
Custom backgrounds for web users
You can utilise the inbuilt Microsoft default wallpapers or blur your background with the coming update to ensure there are no distractions in your meeting.
