The new update of Microsoft Teams can make work meetings more interesting.

Together mode allows users to share the background with up to 49 participants, making them feel like they are sitting in the same room.

The update uses AI segmentation technology to digitally place participants in a shared background, making users feel like they are sitting in the same room as other people in the meeting or class.

Users can choose from different views, such as auditorium, coffee bar or conference table. 

The Microsoft statement said: "The common mode makes meetings more attractive by helping you focus on the facial expressions and body language of others, and making it easier for people to grasp the nonverbal cues that are important to human interaction." 

The combination model with an auditorium background has been launched and will be fully available in August. Microsoft announced that there will be more views in the future. 

The team is releasing other updates, including manual enhancement and emoji creation tools, whiteboard support, Cortana integration and meeting minutes.
