Microsoft Teams offers more than just games
Microsoft has been developing new features for virtual meetings, which Microsoft believes will be a trend that will not fade. For instance, it is enhancing its collaborative “Together Mode,” aiming to bring immersive offerings to meetings with Memoji-like 3D avatars. Zoom is also using Memoji avatars to enhance its video calling platform.
9to5Mac’s Take
While this could be a nice addition to the platform, I’m not sure it’s necessary. Yes, it’s great to add some fun to your meetings, but usually people want to be in and out as fast as possible. Additionally, I’ve used Teams before, and it’s felt a bit clunky and slow compared to Zoom.
Are you hoping casual games will soon be available on Microsoft Teams calls Are you up for some Minesweeper battles We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments section below.
