Microsoft Mesh

Microsoft Mesh lets you share presence and experiences across any device with mixed reality apps. The technology is designed to help you connect your employees with immersive 3D spaces and avatars that can be more engaging and interactive.

Microsoft Mesh is designed to help you build a sense of copresence in a flexible work world, and it works in Teams meetings and as a standalone app. You can experience immersive experiences on PCs and Meta Quest VR devices, and avatars and immersive spaces work in any Teams meeting.

Some of the key benefits include:

• Familiar devices: PCs and Meta Quest VR devices provide a natural experience.
• Comprehensive security: It's built on enterprise-grade security and privacy, part of Microsoft 365.
• Immersive connection: Bring together remote teams in 3D environments to build camaraderie and encourage spontaneous conversations.
• Less distraction: Help people stay focused in immersive environments like a fireside chat or roundtable.
• Inspired innovation: Spark creativity and engagement with spatial interaction.
• Scalability: Build 3D spaces quickly with the Mesh toolkit and no-code editor.

Microsoft Mesh is included with some Microsoft 365 and Teams business plans, including Microsoft Teams Essentials, Microsoft 365 Business Basic and Microsoft 365 Business Standard. Immersive experiences are premium features.

Here's how much Microsoft Teams plans cost that include Mesh features:

• Microsoft Teams Essentials: $4.00 user/month (annual subscription)
• Microsoft 365 Business Basic: $6.00 user/month (annual subscription)
• Microsoft 365 Business Standard: $12.50 user/month (annual subscription)
