Scratchy, low quality virtual backgrounds have been a staple of video conferencing to work since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, but from April 2023 Microsoft Teams will have a fix, in the form of green screen support.
Artificial intelligence is at the point where software like NVIDIA broadcast (opens in new tab) And Google Meet can support virtual backgrounds and blur effects without additional software or hardware, but for maximum quality a green screen works wonders.
How? In the List of Microsoft 365 roadmaps (opens in new tab) for the planned feature, Microsoft says: “Green screen enhances the sharpness and definition of the virtual background effect around your face, head, ears, and hair. It also allows you to display a prop or other object in your hand to be more visible to other participants in a conversation.”
Team green screen
Having a real, physical green screen behind you during your 9-5 is slightly more embarrassing than pretending to be on the beach or a disgusting strawberrybut there’s a good reason why you might want to invest in it when the feature rolls out.
“The virtual background with a green screen,” continues Microsoft, “provides the best virtual background effect, consumes less system resources, making your teams work more smoothly.”
If your mobile workstation or business laptop is low-spec, and you’ve had trouble getting virtual backgrounds on Teams to work properly, a green screen could be the best way to access this often strange and terrifying feature.
And if you really want to scare (and terrorize) your colleagues in Teams, you can take it a step further and set a metaverse style avatar.
