Microsoft Teams Launches Immersive Events for Interactive Virtual Experiences
Microsoft Teams is introducing immersive events, providing organizations with new ways to host interactive and engaging virtual experiences. As hybrid and virtual events become more critical for reach, flexibility, and cost savings, Teams now integrates immersive 3D capabilities directly, allowing hosts to create virtual environments that feel natural and connected.
With immersive events in Microsoft Teams, users can design customizable 3D spaces where participants join from anywhere, interact via avatars, and engage in real-time conversations that replicate in-person meetings. Built into Teams, the feature enables planning, managing, and launching immersive events using familiar tools, including Teams chat for ongoing collaboration.
Setup is straightforward—schedule through your Teams calendar, select pre-designed templates, and personalize every detail with built-in tools. Organizers can add branding, logos, 3D models, videos, images, text, and more, with no coding required.
Presenters benefit from streamlined controls: start presentations with a click, bring raised-hand attendees to the stage for Q&A, locate attendees with teleportation, and monitor crowd reactions. Spatial audio creates a sense of presence, letting avatars interact naturally—move closer to join conversations as you would in person.
Now available in public preview, immersive events in Microsoft Teams offer a user-friendly way to deliver richer, more memorable virtual events. Explore more at https://aka.ms/ImmersiveEventLearnMore and Q&A at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-teams/immersive.

About Microsoft XR
Microsoft has played a pioneering role in the evolution of Extended Reality (XR), driving innovation in immersive technology for both enterprise and consumer use. The company’s journey began with the launch of HoloLens in 2016, a groundbreaking mixed reality headset that blended holographic visuals with the real world, enabling hands-free interaction and advanced spatial computing. Building on this foundation, Microsoft introduced HoloLens 2, enhancing comfort, field of view, and intuitive gesture controls, which quickly found applications in healthcare, manufacturing, education, and remote collaboration.
Beyond hardware, Microsoft’s XR advancements extend to software platforms like Microsoft Mesh and immersive features within Microsoft Teams. Mesh enables users to collaborate as 3D avatars in shared digital environments, powering new ways to meet and work across distances. Microsoft continues to push boundaries in XR, integrating spatial audio, real-time 3D interaction, and secure enterprise solutions to empower organizations to create engaging, connected, and interactive virtual experiences.
