Hello,

I use MS Teams for work but have noticed there is a Teams Personal.

Do I need to install it separately? Is there a separate app?

I am still on Windows 10

Thanks,

V

    Hi @vICTOR pRASAD

    Teams personal is used in Windows 11, if you are still on Windows 10, you don't need to install it.

    Do I need to install it separately? Is there a separate app?

    Yes, it is two separate app. If you have Work account (usually assigned by an IT admin as a part of an organization with a license to use Teams) or School account (as part of a school or educational institution), you need to install Teams for work or school. If you have an personal Teams account, you could install the Teams client for home and business. You could identify which version of Teams you're using from the icon. For more details, you can refer to:
