Teams is the fastest growing App in Microsoft's history.
The excellent level of experience it delivers to its users certainly explains part of its success.
Full packed with features and easy to use, Teams is trusted by more than 500,000 companies around the world. Every day, 115 million people use Microsoft Teams as a collaboration tool, but did you know that it can also be used as a complete telephony system when integrated with 2 Circles Future Office and Callable?
To maintain the high level of user experience, Microsoft constantly adds new functionalities to Teams. One of its most talked-about features, Together Mode, has recently been upgraded.
Released in August 2020, Together Mode is a virtual filter for online meetings. It offers an immersive experience and makes employees feel like they are in the same room. Until lately, the only scene available was a theatre-like background.
Microsoft has now released new scenes making it possible to virtually meet your colleagues in a; coffee shop, boardroom, an amphitheatre, or even an under the sea, if you prefer less conventional environments.

Together mode has a unique look, but it also has a unique feel. People typically become more relaxed, more attentive to one another, more playful, and yet more focused on shared goals. The design offers unique benefits: less fatigue from frequent video meetings, better sense of connection with others, and more effective meetings.
