LETS GO INTROVERTS!!! SO EXCITED FOR US

[DvalinMMO]

This would be sick to be able to use for streaming games, like a plugin for OBS.

[ihowl.]

Great Amazing Product For Microsoft Teams, and which many people will get amazed by the work they have done!

THIS is the feature you think we've been asking for?! Next thing you'll have us showing up for meetings as cats. Seriously, Microsoft, go do something productive.

The existing chronological sequence observed within the current meeting setup elicits a sense of bewilderment, particularly when examined through the lens of an external user. The intriguing aspect lies in the post-initiation selection of an avatar, a departure from the conventional expectation of its pre-meeting configuration. Puzzlingly, the organization's oversight of this ostensibly incongruous order raises questions as to the underlying intentions of a technology giant like Microsoft, renowned for its dedication to crafting user-friendly applications.

From a cognitive standpoint, the typical user anticipates a distinct trajectory in avatar-related interactions, delineated as follows:

Avatar Manipulation and Customization: As a user, the instinctive inclination revolves around the desire to manipulate, curate, and fine-tune one's avatar as an autonomous entity, detached from other components. Logically, the most appropriate location for such avatar settings would be within the broader account settings framework.

In-Meeting Avatar Selection: During the course of a meeting, the user expects the capability to select from a range of preconfigured avatars, toggle their visibility, or perform other related actions tailored to that specific meeting. However, should the need to modify or manipulate the avatar arise during the meeting, a seamless transition to the avatar collection, housed within the account settings, would be the intuitive pathway.

By adhering to this anticipated user interaction model, the organization can not only enhance the overall user experience but also streamline the process of avatar management, thereby fostering a more intuitive and coherent meeting environment.

These videos never do a good job explaining when this feature is available lol When does this come out?

[marouenekermani]

I instalIed the last version and I don't have this feature. I enabled personalized application in the microsoft admin center for Teams and still no résult. I don't have Effects ans Avatars menu

[Lawgirlt]

So...Can we use these avatars elsewhere too? I mean, since y'all killed AltspaceVR I've been without a decent avatar to use across platforms.

[Pils]

Sadly, this feature isn't available either in Teams or in Teams PRE. I can't find the App in the Admin Center. Region: Germany, Europe. Please fix, thanks.

[TSquared]

I hope text effects for chat is coming up next

[acstewart]

I can't wait to see how much job deals with this 😂

[tiagofaustino]

When I use my Avatar on my notebook, everything starts freezing.

[ABeans]

I would prefer teams to just fix the bugs first

[a.z.b.]

Perfect, lets just detach people even more from reality and reduce the personal commination to some virtual cartoon character interactions.

[AirsoftSouthAfricaShow]

It is a pity, Avatars were a bigger concept when the Metaverse was the next big thing. Now it is all about AI. The Metaverse and strapping on devices at your office desk has become abandon ware. Who is going to be an avatar for their performance review or for the important sales call.

Did Microsoft buy "The Sim" or something and thought "Lets make our sims peoples avatars"

[steinmov]

I would rather just show you me during a web meeting.

[jeffreychongsathien]

As if the modern world didn't dehumanize us enough, now Microsoft comes up with this. Good grief. I can't be the only one who thinks actively supporting turning people into hikikomori is a bad idea...

[jdzajdza]

Won’t be professional in a work space.
