Organizers can jump in between meetings on their own, deliver announcements to all breakout rooms at once, and bring everyone back to the main meeting at any time.
Breakout rooms make it easy to divide your meetings into sub-groups to facilitate smaller discussions, brainstorming sessions, learning groups, and even holiday mixers. We are excited to share that breakout rooms are generally available in Microsoft Teams today.
More detailed guidance can be found here. Then, while you’re setting up your video and audio before joining a meeting, select Background effects, click Add new, and then select a background to upload from your computer. To add a new custom background, simply download the backgrounds you like- holiday backgrounds are available here.

To get started, once you are in your Microsoft Teams meeting, select Together mode from the drop-down menu, then click the small pencil in the left-hand corner of the screen to choose a scene (Together mode requires at least five people in your meeting). With these new scenes, it will feel easier than ever for your team to do everything from tackling a tough problem to hosting a holiday party. Halo fans can even gather for their next important meeting in the United Nations Space Command. In addition to new holiday scenes, we are also announcing the availability of a new set of Together mode scenes, rolling out now, that you can use any time of the year that transport your team to a variety of settings including a coffee shop, conference room, classroom, and more. Our new winter wonderland Together mode scenes add a dash of holiday spirit that’s perfect for hosting a virtual holiday party with your team. Back-and-forth conversation feels more natural, and our research shows Together mode reduces meeting fatigue. Together mode in Microsoft Teams reimagines meeting experiences to bring people closer together even when you’re apart. So far, we’ve prepared for a white elephant exchange, online trivia, and more, all over Microsoft Teams.” Bill Martin, CIO AEG WorldWide New Together mode scenes So, we’re taking all our holiday festivities virtual this year.
