A New and Improved Teams App has Arrived

.

Terrific news for Teams users! Microsoft has rolled out a new and improved version of its Microsoft Teams chat client. In fact, it has been rebuilt from the ground up to make it faster and easier to use! Windows and Mac users can now freely install the new version of Microsoft Teams. According to Microsoft, the new version of Teams is up to two times faster while using 50 percent less memory.


This new Microsoft Teams client is also the foundation for the company’s AI-powered Copilot push in Teams. You’ll be able to use Copilot in Teams to summarize meetings, read action items, and avoid long threads of conversations to get to the key points. Enterprise users of Microsoft Teams will now see a toggle to upgrade to the new Teams client, and it will become the default app in December 2023. Note that new Microsoft Teams features will now be delivered exclusively on this new Teams client, so businesses will need to upgrade.
