Wouldn't it be nice if online meetings were more like this event?

You could virtually walk into a room with the Speaker standing in front of a screenshare. You could hear and see the others around you, pick your seat, chat with the person beside you, as the speaker's amplified voice washes over you. You can even move to a back corner of the space to continue talking without distracting anyone, and moving back to your seat when you're done.

That's the point of immersive spaces and Mesh.

Mesh is the standalone app for immersive meetings. Teams has a sample of it called Immersive spaces, but Mesh is more powerful. More customizable. With tools out of the box for adding media assets and share screens, as well as a hosting tool for managing attendees. Mesh works fine on the PC if you'd like, or you can use a Meta headset if you have one. You can even upload custom environments into Mesh. Create a digital twin of the office, a serene forest retreat, or a futuristic fantasy- and then hold your meetings there.

If this piques your curiosity, then attend this session. Take a quick look at Mesh (as much as we can do in 50 minutes) and see what it's about. You might be surprised how useful Mesh can be to elevate a standard remote meeting into something more fun, more immediate, and more of an adventure for the attendees.
