Microsoft is working on enabling casual games during Teams meetings

Microsoft is working on allowing Teams meeting participants to play casual games during calls to keep them online; here are the full details.

Although many things are still sparse for now when it comes to Microsoft allowing you to play games during Teams meetings, internal sources claim that the company is already testing it internally. And all I can say is that Microsoft understands.

Of course, the games will not be the heavy kind that requires sound and full-on gaming gear to enjoy. So, you may not be able to play Fortnite during Teams meetings. The good news is that the games on Microsoft Casual Games list is there to help you pass the time.

Games like SolitaireConnect 4, and Wordament have already been mentioned as part of those available to play during meetings. And, you get to play with a colleague feeling the same way you do.

The reasoning behind this is that these games will provide another source of engagement. For meetings that are segmented and leave some team members waiting for when it gets to matters that concern them, Microsoft wants the idle time to be a bit more fun. Also, when the meeting seems to be unending, casual games can help you stay awake.

The company has not said anything about games coming to Teams during meetings. So, it is still in the testing phase, and while it appears to be a good addition, there are chances that Microsoft may drop it.
