Video calls are convenient, but they are not always the most exciting way to spend your time.

And maybe you don't like being videoed.

Microsoft's latest Teams update solves both of these issues by using animated versions of yourself.

Mesh avatars are designed to transport your meetings into the metaverse.

You can change your physical appearance, add accessories, and select from a variety of reaction gestures.

Even better, you don't need to buy an expensive headset to use them. Simply go to the Microsoft Teams App Store and download the Avatars app.

Big Tech’s investing billions of dollars into developing the Metaverse right now.

This 3D virtual space will replicate many aspects of the real world, including shops, meeting places, and workspaces. It is expected to become the "new internet" over time.

These avatars are an excellent introduction to this new type of virtual space. They're currently in preview, but we're expecting news of a more general release soon.
