explanation for non-techies**
Imagine planning a big virtual event, like a conference, where everyone can join from their computers. Microsoft Teams and Mesh are like the virtual venue where this event happens. Originally, there was a plan to add a new feature that would allow everyone attending the event to chat with each other using Teams chat during these Mesh events. Think of it like having a group chat at a big party where everyone can share thoughts and ask questions in real-time.
However, this feature is not going to be released just yet. It's like planning to have a live band at the party, but then deciding to postpone it for now. The reason could be anything from needing more time to make sure the band is ready, to wanting to improve the overall experience before introducing this new element.
For those attending Mesh events on their computers, whether they're using a PC or a Mac, they can still use Teams chat to talk to everyone else at the event. It's like having a text messaging service available at the party, so you can still communicate with everyone there, even if the live band isn't playing yet.
The team behind Microsoft Teams and Mesh will keep everyone updated on when new features will be available, just like the party organizers would let you know when the band is finally ready to perform. In the meantime, the existing chat functions will continue to help participants stay connected during these virtual events.
