Mercedes-Benz means "business" with Microsoft integration

Mercedes-Benz and Microsoft's latest partnership will see the latest suite of Microsoft business productivity and collaboration tools set a new standard for in-car productivity.

Starting with the all-new CLA, customers will be able to access the latest version of the Meetings for Teams app. With this update, drivers can use the in-car camera while driving, allowing other participants to see them during a meeting. To minimise distraction and maximise safety while driving, the meeting video stream turns off automatically as soon as the camera is activated.

Additionally, Mercedes‑Benz is the first OEM to natively integrate Microsoft Intune - the cross-platform tool for managing devices and apps - directly into the vehicle’s new operating system, MB.OS. Customers can log in with their business accounts and switch between applications effortlessly, taking productivity while on the move to a new level. The rollout will occur in Europe and the U.S.A.

Mercedes‑Benz is also working with Microsoft on bringing Microsoft 365 Copilot into the vehicle. This will be one of the world's first application of its kind in a car, and will help users prepare for upcoming meetings with the aid of advanced AI. Rollout of the productivity enhancements will start this summer with the MB.OS powered fourth-generation MBUX in the new CLA.
