It's possible to add your own meeting background image to Teams. Your image will need to be at least 1920 x 1080px and needs to be placed in a very specific location:

This PC > Local Disk (C:) > Users > [your username] > AppData > Roaming > Microsoft > Teams > Backgrounds > Uploads

Make sure you only use images that are owned by you or the university, or are copyright free.

Try it out:

If you'd like to use this rainbow background, right click on the image and choose 'save image as' from the menu that appears. Once you've saved it move it into the folder noted above. In your next online meeting you'll be able to select one of the default images, or this new one as your background image.
