Advantages of Together Mode
The primary benefit of Together Mode in Microsoft Teams is being able to see all the members of the meeting together as if they are one room or class and sitting together. It can discard the old classic video call feature where you can see one people at a time with a boxed view which nullifies to see just a restricted number of people at a time is eased. When you make a normal Teams video conference, the person who is talking frequently appears on the meeting screen with the boxed view. The rest of the persons in the meeting are in the background and are virtually ignored until they start talking in the meeting. This new feature ‘Together Mode’ acknowledges this issue. You can easily view all the people present on the call as well as read their body language and reactions during the meeting, just like we do can in physically with ease of our homes. Also this advantage is otherwise very difficult in their home environments or different backgrounds.
