How to use together mode (Together Mode) Microsoft Teams

Together mode (Together Mode) in Microsoft Teams will bring the Microsoft Teams online learning interface on the computer more interesting, when the classroom interface will display as a movie theater. This mode creates a uniform screen among members of Microsoft Teams, instead of displaying different custom wallpapers when students install the background on Microsoft Teams. The following article will guide you how to use together mode on Microsoft Teams.

What is the together mode in Microsoft Teams?

Together mode in Microsoft Teams uses AI technology to create a common meeting room space for everyone. When learning online on Microsoft Teams, everyone will have different backgrounds. This mode will cut out the members’ faces and shoulders to create an avatar for them. Then show all members in this virtual environment. Learners can comfortably interact as if they were learning face-to-face.

This mode will help the host to see all members present in the meeting on the same interface.

When sharing the screen on Microsoft Teams, specifically sharing PowerPoint slides, this together mode cannot be used.
