About two and a half years ago, COVID-19 was classified as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The crypto market has grown to be relatively healthy throughout the course of the subsequent months of suffering, false information, and significant societal change. In fact, there is a silver lining among these dark clouds in the form of Web3. That is the third generation of the internet.

Following that instinct to shut down the Web3 revolution would place us on the wrong side of history and overlook Web3's inherently democratic inclinations as well as the reality that, despite generally anemic or sclerotic growth in conventional industries, Web3 is driving trillions in economic activity and we are only getting started.

New work patterns have formed over the past 2.5 years that prioritize processes, communications, and people. Microsoft Teams became the most widely used platform for office collaboration and commercial operations during that time, growing to 270 million active users each month. The expansion of teams indicates the evolution and future of work.

In an effort to persuade businesses to operate in virtual settings, Meta Platforms, an American multinational technology conglomerate, has teamed up with technology behemoth Microsoft to integrate a number of Microsoft Office 365 products into Meta's virtual reality (VR) platform.

Choose Your Own Metaverse Adventure With More Choice and Security


In an online article shared by Microsoft, an announcement was made about the several ways they are collaborating with Meta to provide customers with more choice and security as they venture into the metaverse.

Meta Quest devices will first have Mesh for Microsoft Teams. What's nice about it is that it can be used with any device, including smartphones, computers, and mixed-reality headsets, to enable virtual gatherings where work takes place.

Meta Quest devices will also support Microsoft 365 applications, allowing users to engage with information from their preferred productivity tools including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and SharePoint within VR.

How Microsoft and Meta's Partnership Will Shape the Future of Work and Play

In today's age, People want to collaborate and co-create in more profound, richer ways in the modern world, regardless of where they are. This made Microsoft think that the metaverse will be crucial in bringing about new forms of connection in the not-too-distant future.

Because of that, Satya Nadella, executive chairman and CEO of Microsoft, is introducing the immersive meeting experience from Microsoft Teams to Meta Quest to give people new opportunities to engage. He said, "Now you may interact, discuss, and cooperate as though we were together in person.”
