Teams and Zoom to Integrate With Meta VR Workrooms

Meta Quest Pro brings Teams and Zoom into Horizon Workrooms, giving workplace buyers new VR collaboration and Microsoft 365 tools.

Teams and Zoom integration with Meta VR Workrooms

Meta has revealed that it is partnering with Microsoft and Zoom to bring the communication platforms to its VR workspaces.

The announcement was made during Connect 2022 as the social media giant announced the Meta Quest Pro - a VR headset designed with collaboration and productivity in mind.

The headset will be used with Meta Horizon Workrooms, with Zoom and Teams integration, to allow businesses to connect and collaborate in a VR space.

During the Meta Quest keynote, Satya Nadella, Microsoft Chairman and CEO, said: "Microsoft Teams is the most ubiquitous advanced platform for work today, and it's becoming essential to how hundreds of millions of people meet, call, chat, collaborate and do business.

"We are clearly going through a once-in-a-lifetime change in how we work; every organisation today is looking for new ways to reconnect and re-energise their workforce at home, in the office and everywhere in between. 

"That's why we are bringing Microsoft Teams immersive meeting experience to Meta Quest in order to give people new ways to connect with each other.

"You can connect, share, collaborate as though you were together in person, and in the future, you'll be able to use other avatars, including meta avatars, in immersive experiences and Teams Meetings too.

"Just think about how powerful whiteboarding or brainstorming or even Teams meetups can be in this space."

According to Meta, Workrooms are an early step towards virtual offices in the metaverse, but the company stressed that it cannot be built by just one organisation.

When using the Meta Quest Pro in Workrooms, users will be able to connect, share and collaborate in Teams with immersive experiences as well as join Teams meetings from inside Workrooms.

Meta Avatars will be available in Teams for whiteboarding, brainstorming, and meetups.

Users will also have access to Microsoft's 365 suite to interact with apps such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook directly from the Meta Quest Pro and Meta Quest 2.

Mark Zuckerberg, Meta CEO, did not give many details about how the Zoom integration will work with Workrooms; however, he did confirm that users will be able to join the VR spaces via Zoom in early 2023.
