Blur Your Background
You can blur your background in MiTeam Meetings to prevent other participants from seeing your background. MiTeam Meetings allows you to blur your background before a meeting or during a meeting.
Note: Blurring the background involves using your computer's Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) for achieving the best results. If your computer has older GPU's, using this feature might add a load to your computer, which adversely impacts the meeting experience. If you experience lag in your videos, update your video driver. If updating your video driver does not resolve the issue, you must turn off the Blur Background feature.

To ensure best experience
Background blurring needs contrast to distinguish between you and your background. Follow these best practices whenever possible:
- Wear clothes that stand out from what is behind you.
- If your video appears grainy, turn on some lights. Most webcams, especially the cameras in laptops, do not perform well in dim light.
- Try to sit within 3 feet (a meter) of the camera. Try to sit directly in front of, and look squarely into the camera.
- The feature does recognize hats or other headwear and might blur them.
