Create your NEW LOOK on Microsoft Teams - Avatars Tutorial

The Microsoft Teams Avatars app lets you create a virtual you to attend your meetings when your meetings when it's not convenient to get on camera. Whether you are fatigued from a long day of meetings, or just not in a good location to turn your video feed on, your avatar has your back so you can participate along with your colleagues.

Learn how to activate this new feature, how to set-up your customized avatar, how to use the feature in meetings, and how you might want to think about using it as you roll it out in your meetings or across your organization. This is a great way to get started with Microsoft Mesh by having your custom avatar ready for those new mesh experiences that will be coming.
