For organizations with Teams Premium, users will have access to DALL-E, a text to image generator,   which they can use for their backgrounds. This release of Custom Backgrounds for Announcement Posts will be rolling out across Microsoft Teams Desktop and Web for Channels 2.0 in English \u2013 US markets only. In line with current announcement behavior, Mobile   will only support the consumption of custom backgrounds. Feature is disabled for EDU tenants while the team implements a policy setting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>  <\/p>\n<p>This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/microsoft-365\/roadmap?filters=&amp;searchterms=183785\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">  183785<\/a><\/p>\n<p>  <\/p>\n<p>[When this will happen:]<\/p>\n<p>Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out early November and expect to complete by mid-November 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Standard Release: We will begin rolling out late November and expect to complete by early December 2023.<\/p>\n<p>[How this will affect your organization:]<\/p>\n<p>Before, in Channels 1.0, users struggled to &#8220;find the right picture,&#8221; to &#8220;find images that work correctly with banner sizing so it takes ages,&#8221; etc.    <\/p>\n<p>Now, whether users have their own image or an idea in mind, or absolutely nothing at all, they can create rich, engaging backgrounds for their announcement posts through the generative AI power of Microsoft Designer.
