How to change background in Teams before joining a meeting?

Microsoft Teams’ custom background has been a long-awaited feature. While Teams had already rolled out background blur and pre-set images to use in video meetings, the custom background in Microsoft Teams has put Teams at par with its rivals like Zoom.

If you want, you can host your video meeting with a customized background. After all, what could be better than attending a video meeting from the beach or maybe from the moon?
