Audio support for screen sharing in immersive events
We're adding audio support for screen sharing in Microsoft Mesh. Presenters will now be able to choose whether they'd like to include system audio when starting a screen share in a Mesh event. This feature is available for presenters in Mesh with a Teams Premium license.
GA date: January CY2025
Status / Planned Rollout: In development, Microsoft Teams, Worldwide (Standard Multi-Tenant), Desktop, General Availability, Targeted Release
Microsoft Mesh app on PC supports guest access for events
Mesh events allows for even better collaboration for more people by now supporting guest user attendees into the Mesh PC app. Event organizers can invite guest users outside their organization, providing an opportunity for broader collaboration and networking in Mesh events. Guests can sign in to the Mesh app to join events, participate in discussions, and experience the same interactive features as internal users, all while maintaining secure access control. Guest user creation follows the existing process for tenant guest user creation (outside of Mesh). For this release, guest users would require a Teams Premium license, just like regular tenant attendees, to collaborate within Mesh. Guest access for the Mesh app on Quest and support for anonymous participants will be supported in a future update.

New collaborative Project Studio environment in Microsoft Mesh
The Project Studio environment is a new space for immersive meetings and Mesh events. This space has been designed for synchronous teamwork and productivity for small groups to collaborate on content. Collaboration tools like whiteboards will be added to the environment as they become available.

Microsoft Mesh app on Meta Quest headsets supports hand interactions
Microsoft Mesh app users on Meta Quest 2, 3, and Pro headsets can now use their hands to use the app, move around in event environments, and interact with objects. Motion controllers continue to be supported, and users can switch between using controllers or their hands while using the app.

Host and attendee interaction visibility for multi-room Mesh events
Mesh event attendees can now see raised hands and reactions from attendees in other rooms during large, multi-room Mesh events. This creates a greater sense of audience feedback as a whole across all rooms in a Mesh event and increases total audience engagement. Additionally, event hosts will now be able to move between all rooms in a multi-room Mesh event.
