✔️ Windows\n  - ✔️ macOS (untested)\n  - ❌ Linux ([backgrounds not supported yet](https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/40247473-background-effects-teams-for-linux))\n- Gotchas:\n  - After downloading backgrounds, Teams must be restarted.\n  - On start-up, Teams generates thumbnails for new backgrounds which may take a while.\n\n### Zoom\n\n- Command line: `--app zoom`\n- Operating systems:\n  - ✔️ Windows\n  - ✔️ macOS (untested)\n  - ✔️ Linux (untested)\n- Gotchas:\n  - Zoom must not be running when downloading or removing backgrounds.\n\n## Contributions\n\nIf you like to help, consider one of the following contributions:\n- Addition of more background collections (official sources from copyright holders only)\n- Support for more apps or operating systems\n\nAll of the above is easily possible by extending the [`apps.json`](apps.json) and [`backgrounds.json`](backgrounds.json) files.\nYour pull request is welcome! :)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fletmaik%2Fmeeting-backgrounds","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fletmaik%2Fmeeting-backgrounds","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fletmaik%2Fmeeting-backgrounds/lists"}
