No.<\/p>\n<p>Is it a bit cheesy? Yes. But that\u2019s ok because it\u2019s still 2020 and nobody should feel any remorse for experimenting with new ways to be \u201ctogether.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Here\u2019s how you enable Together Mode in Teams<\/h2>\n<p>Make sure you have the latest version of Microsoft Teams, then, click on your profile picture or avatar, then click on Settings. Ensure that you have the latest version. Restart Teams if you did not have the new meeting experience checked.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2027\" src=\"https:\/\/lg-staging.lougcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Teams-Settings.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"778\" height=\"545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lg-staging.lougcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Teams-Settings.jpg 778w, https:\/\/lg-staging.lougcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Teams-Settings-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lg-staging.lougcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Teams-Settings-768x538.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lg-staging.lougcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Teams-Settings-705x494.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 778px) 100vw, 778px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Next time you are in a Teams meeting, click the \u201c\u2026\u201d at the top of the screen and select Together Mode.
