Mercedes-Benz is transforming the car into a mobile office with Teams video calls now built into its upcoming CLA model. With this new feature, professionals can collaborate on the go like never before.
Powered by the fourth-generation MBUX infotainment system and the MB.OS platform, this innovation allows drivers to join Microsoft Teams meetings from inside their vehicles. It’s the first time a carmaker has enabled in-motion video conferencing, setting a new benchmark in automotive-tech integration.
How Mercedes-Benz Teams Video Calls Work
The feature uses an in-cabin camera to stream your video during a call. However, once the car starts moving, your video feed is hidden on your display to prevent distractions. Audio remains active, letting you continue the conversation. Additionally, shared visuals like slides or screens are automatically hidden to maintain driver focus.
Passengers can still use the full video and content-sharing features, as the setup complies with safety regulations. TechCrunch reported this development as part of a broader trend in tech-automotive integration.
Microsoft 365 Copilot Enhances Mercedes-Benz Teams Video Calls
Beyond video conferencing, Mercedes-Benz is introducing Microsoft 365 Copilot integration. This voice-powered AI assistant helps drivers manage calendars, respond to messages, and even summarize documents—all hands-free.
The goal is clear: make long drives or daily commutes more productive without compromising safety. With simple voice commands, users can work while staying focused on the road.
Why Mercedes-Benz Teams Video Calls Matter
The rise of remote and hybrid work has created demand for smarter, mobile-friendly tools. By embedding Teams video calls and Copilot into vehicles, Mercedes-Benz is addressing this shift directly.
This move could redefine what it means to work from anywhere—including from behind the wheel.
