Together Mode in Microsoft Teams is a simple option dedicated to smaller gatherings. It gives you the impression of a large gallery view, showing all the meeting attendees sitting together in a virtual auditorium.
How does Together Mode in Microsoft Teams work?
With Microsoft Teams Artificial Intelligence tools in action, the filter slices out the portion of your face, creating an avatar. This face cut-out is then pasted in the virtual background of your team’s view. The avatars then interact with other participants and carry out actions like high-fives, shoulder taps or other celebratory gestures.

The main advantage of using Together mode in Microsoft Teams is that it eliminates unwanted distractions by removing the background space. This improves productivity and lets you focus on your work only. Together mode supports a maximum of 49 participants in a single meeting, but you need at least 5 participants to start a session. Plus, you should be the host.
