Microsoft first rolled out avatars in private preview in October 2022.
Since then, the company has improved the lighting for models to make them appear more realistic.

Microsoft also added several customization options, including wardrobe and headwear accessories.
With these additions, it should be easier to create an avatar that reflects a person accurately.
Of course, people can also make an avatar look however they’d like.

Reactions have improved as well.
When someone shares an emoji reaction, their avatar will reflect that emotion.
For example, using the hand raised reaction will make an avatar lift their hand.

Earlier today, Microsoft also announced anew version of Teamsthat will launch later this year.
The new Teams is up to twice as fast as its predecessor while using 50% fewer system resources.
It also has a revamped look that aligns better with Windows 11.
