The company announced the backgrounds on July 8th to celebrate Throwback Thursday.
The collection includes four background wallpapers that reference classic Windows programs and themes.
"After more than a year of remote and hybrid work, we're all a little less excited about video calls, so we asked our designers to create some original backgrounds for Microsoft Teams," Microsoft said.
The most prominent background features the Microsoft Office assistant Clippy, an animated paperclip that first appeared in Office 97 and provided users with useful information.

Another nostalgic background in the collection is the Bliss wallpaper. The image, taken by Charles O'Rear in California, first appeared in 2001 in Windows XP after Microsoft purchased the rights.
The collection also includes the Microsoft Solitaire. The game first appeared on Windows 3.0 in 1990 and this year celebrates its 31st anniversary. The game was inducted into the Video Game Hall of Fame in 2019.
Another background pays homage to Microsoft Paint. The popular program was first introduced in Windows 1.0 in 1985. Microsoft released Paint's successor, Paint 3D, in 2017.
All four backgrounds are available for download in Teams on the Microsoft website.
