This week's news is all about Microsoft Ignite and the big digital workplace announcements that came out of the software giant's virtual conference.
Microsoft at its Ignite conference announced the launch of Mesh for Microsoft Teams. With the new technology, users will be able to create their animated avatars for online meetings. It will allow Teams users to be present in virtual meetings without having to turn on their webcams.
Beginning next year, Teams users will be able to "meet" in 3D spaces to collaborate with colleagues, as Microsoft announced the upcoming public preview of Mesh for Teams.
Remote workers will also be able to use their avatars to visit virtual work spaces, which would include replicas of their employers’ offices. This is part of a big effort to combine the company’s mixed reality and HoloLens work with meetings and video calls that anyone can participate in.
Mesh is built on efforts like Together Mode and other features that Microsoft has been developing to make meetings interesting. The tech giant hopes that Mesh will make working from home even more interesting and engaging than ever before.
