It seems this is available through a range of interfaces, but the one we are interested in is Teams, where it works from your PC without any fancy gear, provided your PC is powerful enough.<\/p>\n
Other tools that operate Mesh include HoloLens 2, a wearable device that lets you see and interact with holograms in your physical space, VR headsets, such as Oculus Quest 2, that immerse you in a virtual world, Smartphones and tablets, that let you view and join mixed reality sessions through a 2D screens and PCs.<\/p>\n
Microsoft Mesh is a new platform that enables immersive and realistic interactions with people and content across different locations and devices. With Microsoft Mesh, you can join mixed reality meetings, share 3D models, co-create and edit documents, and more. Microsoft Mesh uses cloud-based AI and spatial anchors to create a sense of presence and connection, as if you were in the same room with others.<\/p>\n

This article is about using it with Teams.<\/strong><\/p>\n Firstly, be aware at that at this time, this only works in Teams meetings. i.e. it is not available in a video call.<\/p>\n Once you are in the meeting, open the \u2018view\u2019 menu and select the option for a \u2018Immersive Space (3D).\u2019<\/p>\n Next, set up your avatar. Note that you can change it later if you want.\u00a0 Se the body shape, clothing, eyeware, hair and so on.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/MeshTeams.png” title_text=”MeshTeams” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n The standard features are available in the following Teams and Microsoft 365 business plans: Teams Essentials, Microsoft 365 Business Basic, Microsoft 365 Business Standard, Microsoft 365 Business Premium, Microsoft 365 E3 or E5, and Office 365 E1, E3, or E5.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n Microsoft Mesh is designed to create a natural and respectful experience for everyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/MeshRoon.png” title_text=”MeshRoon” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n We found it to be fun for a meeting. We could easily share content and see it, as normal. Audio was great in the environment, but it was compromised in a mixed environment of some \u20183d\u2019 users and some regular users.<\/p>\n Ultimately, it\u2019s a bit of a gimmick. Personally, I like to see the people I\u2019m talking to. Avatars don\u2019t have the same reaction \u2013 you can\u2019t see the person nodding or smiling or any other natural reactions.
