Setting up Custom Background on Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android

Skypesettings.xml | XML Files for Microsoft Teams Rooms

Hey there!! Recently, I've been delivering tech training, and out of curiosity, I asked attendees about XML files, and many of them didn't know how to use and make them for their MTRoW, but guess what? Most of the people didn't know anything about them. Therefore, I'd like to share different options to be applied to your systems and help you get by on your journey.

Note: At the bottom of this post, you will find XML files to be used and help you configure your MTRoWs. 

Placing XML File

As I mentioned early on How to enable Microsoft Teams Rooms New Home Screen Design post, there are several ways to place the file, and it depends on how many MTRs your company has, or you have, and how you manage all of them: Either way, you'll need to restart your systems after saving the new XML file, and after that, the file will delete itself.

Go to C:\Users\Skype\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.SkypeRoomSystem_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState, place your XML file there, and save it as SkypeSettings.xml.

1st Method: Transferring file

I recommend you read How to Access and Control MTRoW Remotely in order to learn how to  remotely control and access your system. In this case, it's helpful bc today, I'd like to transfer the XML file and restart the Mini PC. In the following pictures, you can find how easy it can be done, but if you prefer another method to this one, go to the next section/method.

Open RemoteRipple, choose your MTR and click on File Transfer.

Locate your file and the destination folder.

Note: Don't forget that XML's name must be SkypeSettings.xml and it be placed on C:\Users\Skype\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.SkypeRoomSystem_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState.

Select your XML file and click on Upload.
