There's a workaround you can try as long as your processor supports an AVX2 instruction.

In this case, you can use OBS as a virtual camera for MS Team. Please follow these steps below:

Step 1: Configure OBS as a virtual camera for MS Team:

You can download the OBS NDI plugin at the following link below:

Step 2: Customize the background using OBS:

You can also make a transparent background on OBS (assuming your hardware support it). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dj_yK9LYIjI

There are other additional benefits of using this method, you can customize your appearance in OBS software such as flipping images, create transition effects, create running text on the video screen etc which will enhance your presentation.
