Drive and Connect: The Future of In-Car Meetings

Mercedes-Benz has joined forces with Microsoft to transform how we communicate on the road with an innovative update to the Teams app. Now, drivers can engage in video calls using their in-car camera, enabling real-time interaction during meetings—without ever leaving the comfort of their vehicle.

Safety First: How It Works

While the idea of video calls in a moving vehicle might raise some eyebrows, Mercedes-Benz assures that this feature complies with local regulations and is officially approved for use. To keep drivers focused and safe, the in-car camera is designed to deactivate automatically as soon as the vehicle starts moving. So, even though drivers can see their colleagues, they won't be distracted by presentations or shared screens.
