Disabling custom background uploads

By default, you can upload any supported image type to use as your background during a meeting. Depending on your organization's requirements, you can disable custom background uploads by modifying the applicable file.

  • Docker
    • .env

  • Kubernetes

    • values.yaml

  • Modify the configuration file. The default value is TRUE.

    • For Docker, update the value of the ENABLE_USER_VIRTUAL_BACKGROUND parameter:

      ENABLE_USER_VIRTUAL_BACKGROUND=false

    • For Kubernetes, update the value of the UserVirtualBackgroundsEnabled parameter:

      userVirtualBackgroundsEnabled: false

  • Restart the Sametime server to apply the changes. For more information, refer to Starting and stopping servers.
