Important Update: Transition to immersive events in Teams
As of December 1st, 2025, Microsoft will retire the Immersive space (3D) view in Teams meetings, Microsoft Mesh on the web, and the Microsoft Mesh PC and Quest apps. These experiences will be replaced by immersive events in Teams, where we are continuing to invest in delivering engaging, collaborative immersive events.

Get started with immersive events in Teams. Build right in Teams, so you can plan, manage and launch immersive experiences using the tools you already know.

After this date:

  • The “immersive space (3D)” view will no longer be available in Teams meetings.
  • The mesh.cloud.microsoft website will no longer support scheduling events or managing templates and environments.
  • The Mesh PC and Quest apps will no longer support attending Mesh events.

Microsoft Mesh

We're reimagining the way employees come together with Microsoft Mesh, powering several immersive experiences across the devices you use every day.

Microsoft Mesh enables your distributed workforce to connect in 3D immersive experiences using Microsoft Teams, a PC, or a Meta headset, helping you feel that virtual meetings and events are more like face-to-face connections.

Why immersive?

Immersive experiences have unique attributes, including spatial interaction, co-presence, and immersion, that create a perception of being physically together in a 3D digital space. Digital engagement is evolving from audio to video and now to spatial interaction.

Spatial awareness through directionality and distance enables multiple small group discussions in the same place, adding familiar human elements to digital connections. Spending time with others in the same 3D environment also creates a powerful sense of togetherness, or co-presence, even when you're not actively speaking.

Co-presence can lead to spontaneous moments of conversation or even just the deepened connection of a shared experience. Mesh allows you to focus on what matters: people, conversations, and a unique shared space.
