Microsoft announced the introduction of metaverse avatars in Teams soon. This feature will help users reduce the pressure of looking presentable on camera. The tech giants intend to embrace the emerging web3 technology to build a better connection with the customers. It’s not the first time Microsoft portrayed a positive outlook towards emerging technologies; they were the first to even accept crypto payments. Their foray into the metaverse will encourage some path-breaking innovations in the future.
Microsoft ventures into the VR platform
Microsoft plans to launch the new update this December, and it will be available only for Teams Premium users. The high-rise demand for metaverse, especially among Gen Z customers, is a significant catalyst encouraging the company to upgrade the Teams feature. On average, a user has to spend almost $10 per month to access the fantastic feature. However, the price is not yet fixed; it may undergo some amendment later.
Per reports, the Premium meeting feature will offer a robust AI experience and help people create tasks and generate content from meetings automatically. Employees with this upgrade can get a chance to create avatars which look similar to them and attend a video meeting without switching on the camera. Besides automated services, users can view meeting captions in almost 40 languages, allowing people from different regions to understand discussions in their language.
Customize Microsoft Teams Mesh avatars with ease
Developers have taken fruitful initiatives to make Avatar creation easy and accessible to users. To get started with mesh avatar, you need to select the three dots visible above the store icon in the search bar, or you can simply type mesh avatar in the search bar, and you will get options. While elucidating on the customization of the avatar feature, the general engineering manager of Microsoft said that they believe representations matter, which is why the firm worked hard to develop this project.
The Mesh avatar builder is a fun way to customize your avatar by selecting from hundreds of combinations representing your physical attributes, accessories, wardrobe and more.
