together mode

Together Mode in Microsoft Teams is a meeting layout that places participants in a shared virtual scene, such as an auditorium or conference room. Microsoft has announced that Together Mode will be retired in June 2026, removing custom scenes and seat assignments while keeping gallery view as the primary experience. This change reflects Microsoft's shift toward simpler meeting surfaces, improved performance, and AI-assisted features. IT administrators and users should plan for the transition, as the feature's removal is not urgent but signals evolving priorities in Teams development.
