Meme with an image of Christian Bale as Batman. Text reads: My boss told me "Dress for the job you want, not the job you have." Now I'm sitting in a disciplinary meeting dressed as Batman.

Microsoft is bringing Mesh to a meeting near you which bring the option of choosing an interactive avatar instead of turning your camera on.

Simon, Ben and I took our previous conversation about camera on/ camera off to the metaverse after the announcement at Ignite 2021 (November) that Mesh is coming to Microsoft Teams.
