You're right, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (MDE) currently doesn't differentiate between Teams classic and the new Teams experience. It treats them as the same application.

Here's what you can do:

1. Monitor Overall Teams Usage: You can still monitor overall Teams usage. This can help identify any spikes or changes that might indicate a shift to the new Teams experience.
2. Alternative Vulnerability Management: Consider using other vulnerability management tools alongside MDE. These tools might offer more granular visibility into specific applications and versions.
3. Track User Feedback: Encourage users to report any issues or changes they experience with the new Teams version. This can provide indirect information on adoption.
4. Stay Updated: Microsoft is constantly improving MDE. Keep an eye on official resources for updates that might include more detailed application version tracking in the future.
