Schreiner Technology has packaged a collection of custom backgrounds for Microsoft Teams meetings.  These backgrounds were chosen for their variety of campus locations.  At this time, a Schreiner-owned and managed Windows device must be used to acquire these backgrounds.

There are two methods to install the backgrounds, Company Portal for Windows Laptops, and Software Center for wired campus machines. If you do not have the Company Portal app, please install it from the Microsoft Store on your device.  If you have problems, please let the helpdesk know.

Note: Some machines on campus may not have the hardware required to run this feature. In that case only the webcam, without effects, may be used.
