Microsoft partners with Meta to deliver immersive VR experience

Microsoft has collaborated with Meta to deliver immersive experiences in VR, bringing Teams and Microsoft’s other productive tools to VR headset.

Microsoft’s ‘Mesh for Teams’ with Meta Quest Pro and Meta Quest 2 devices will enable people to connect and collaborate as though they are together in person. Microsoft 365 apps will be available on Meta Quest devices, enabling people to interact with content from their favourite productivity apps including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and SharePoint within VR.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said that Microsoft teams will integrate with Quest devices and Microsoft will provide a way to stream Windows apps to Meta’s headsets. Microsoft Intune and Azure Active Directory will support Meta Quest Pro and Meta Quest 2, enabling IT administrators to provision these devices for users with a Quest for Business subscription from Meta, with confidence so that the security and management options they expect from PCs and mobile devices will carry over to VR.

Microsoft and Meta are also exploring ways to bring Xbox Cloud Gaming to Meta Quest Store, allowing gamers to stream hundreds of high-quality Xbox games to phones, tablets, PCs, select smart TVs, and the Meta Quest platform.
