Microsoft will modify Meta’s avatar system for Teams, and Teams will get support inside Meta’s own Horizon Workrooms, as part of the Teams experience with the new Quest Pro and Quest 2 headsets. During the launch, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said, “People will be able to join a Teams meeting straight from Workrooms.” “We believe that this cross-device, cross-screen experience will be the core of the future virtual workplace.”
This virtual workplace of the future will be about more than simply meetings. Windows 365 is now available on Quest, Microsoft’s platform for streaming complete versions of Windows to devices.
Through its Progressive Web Programs (PWA) technology, Microsoft is also introducing 2D versions of its Office apps to Quest. These will not be full-fledged 3D versions of Office intended for VR, but if there is a demand for VR in the workplace, Microsoft might alter them in the future.
