What is Peacock?

Peacock is a free add-in created by Microsoft for customizing and personalizing the look of Microsoft Teams. It allows you to change the background images, colors, and layouts in Teams to make it more visually appealing or match your company branding.

Some key features of Peacock include:

• Library of background images and colors to choose from, or use your own custom images
• Options to blur or darken background images for readability
• Layout templates for positioning videos, shared screens, and chat
• Ability to set different themes or backgrounds based on calendar events or times of day
• Support for retaining personalized settings across Teams desktop, web, and mobile apps

As an open source extension, Peacock provides an easy way for Teams users and administrators to make the app interface more engaging without sacrificing functionality. It can help promote branding guidelines, inspire creativity, or just make Teams more fun and enjoyable to use on a daily basis.

Peacock is available for free from Microsoft and works with Teams desktop apps on Windows and Mac. It does require installing an extension/add-in, but offers a simple interface within Teams itself for managing your customized layouts and themes once set up.
