Microsoft has entered the metaverse, or at least in one form. Introducing Mesh for Microsoft Teams.

You’ll be able to access the 3D avatars on Mesh for Teams from standard smartphones, laptops, and even mixed-reality headsets, to make online meetings feel more personal, engaging as well as fun. This gateway to the metaverse will allow Microsoft users to communicate, collaborate and share with personal virtual presence on just about any compatible device. Mesh for Teams users can simply join a standard Teams meeting using a customized 3D avatar rather than a static picture or video.
