Mesh is a new feature for Microsoft Teams that is designed to allow people in different physical locations to join virtual meetings, send chats, collaborate, and have shared holographic experiences via Teams.

Mesh improves upon two existing features namely Together and Presenter mode. It will be available from standard smartphones, laptops, and even mixed-reality headsets. Users will be able to join standard Teams meetings as custom avatars of themselves, as a static picture, or on video.

Mesh will also be available for use in custom design metaverses created by different companies and organizations. Companies can create metaverses that will serve as a persistent virtual world for people to collaborate.

Mesh for Teams will start to be available for preview in the first half of 2022.
