I have been using MS Teams’ default theme for a couple of months was pleasantly surprised to find that i am able to change the theme display settings. After using the dark theme, I have noticed my eyes are not tired easily. Having a bright screen causes eye fatigue and according to this article, using a dark theme is becoming popular and would reduce eye strain. So in this tip, here’s how you can adjust your MS Teams settings for a more customised visual experience.

To adjust your theme and layout:

1. Open Microsoft Teams.

2. Click your profile icon at the top right hand corner of the screen. If you don’t have a display picture, it should look like this: .

3. Select from the drop-down list.

4. A pop-up box should appear. Select your preference for your theme (Default, Dark, or High contrast) and for your layout (Grid or List).

5. You should notice a change (if any) immediately.

Now you can enjoy a more personalised MS Teams experience. Enjoy your chosen look!
