Before I show you how to change the policy, below are the four available options.
- NoFilters – No filters, users can’t change the background
- BlurOnly – I can blur the background
- BlurAndDefaultBackgrounds – I can only use default Blur and Default backgrounds.
- AllFilters – I can change everything (default)

To change the settings, we need to specify the identity of the policy. In my case, I will modify the global policy using the cmdlet below. I will allow everything but disable custom backgrounds.
Set-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy -Identity Global -VideoFiltersMode BlurAndDefaultBackgroundsPS C:\Windows\system32> Get-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy | Ft Identity, VideoFiltersMode
