Allow Teams application start minimized
We are starting to use Microsoft Team in the company. We have automatic startup set up when the user logs in to Windows 10 and we need it to start in minimized mode and there's no way. The problem is that every time we turn on the computer, Teams starts and you see the last conversation, last work computer, etc and we don't want it to be seen because there may be confidential information that we don't want to show when we turn on the computer to have a meeting with an external party. Can you add some functionality in the menu that allows the execution of Teams in minimized mode? With Microsoft Skype for Business it is possible and we don't understand why not with Teams. Thank you

Floating Logo in Teams Background
I'd like to create a Teams background that has a floating logo. The closest I can come is to have created a PNG with the small logo in the corner of the screen. (Attached) But even though the logo is 1/12th of the screen, the balance of the screen still projects a white background that halos. I'm not interested in covering up anything behind me. I'm only interested in having my logo or even if it's just a few text words on the screen--kind of like a floating logo and nothing else. Is that possible to accomplish in 3D Paint or Powerpoint? Is there a certain type of file or magic fix that will eliminate everything in a file except for the logo or text? Thank you.

MS Teams virtual background effects blending with real background
I've been using MS Teams since COVID hit and this week I've had my first issue with virtual backgrounds. No different settings than what I am used to. I'm pretty sure my MS Teams was just running off default settings. When I'm in a meeting, I can set the background to "blur" which works properly but I would rather use a virtual background. However, when I do this now it works but there are some items in my room that also appear in the background - it's mixing the virtual and real backgrounds. For example, my bed and a picture that is on my wall in the background is visible with the space or office setting virtual background. I tried restarting Teams, uninstall and reinstall, closing and opening, signing out and in. Is there any setting particular to this? Or is this just a matter of this won't work for me anymore? Is it the laptop getting older? My colleagues still have working Teams backgrounds. Thanks!! any help is appreciated.

Custom MS Teams background cropping
Hi, Our company has created a couple of backgrounds for MS Teams, however for some people the backgrounds appear to be cropping and cutting out some of the background. The images are 1920 x 1080 pixels, so unsure why for some people it works while for others it crops. Is it a settings problem that some people might have on their computer? Because it seems like a simple upload procedure. Any help would be appreciated!

Not having a add new button by the background effects
Hi, before the update I could add new backgrounds, but now with the new update the add new button is gone, I tried adding images via the folder uploads but they just don't show in teams. I already deleted and redownloaded teams several times. Also, my OS is a mac. thank you
