New Teams system requirements

Microsoft Teams can be installed on PCs, Macs, and mobile devices, and can also be accessed via a web browser. Most end users can start using Teams by installing the client. After they install the new Teams client, all they need to do is sign in with their username and password.

The new Teams client delivers up to two times faster app performance while using 50% less memory with the same system requirements that classic Teams has.

Browser Supported versions Operating systems
Microsoft Edge Latest three versions Windows, macOS, Linux
Chrome Latest three versions Windows, macOS, Linux
Firefox Latest three versions Windows, macOS, Linux
Safari Latest two versions macOS

The browser must be configured to allow third-party cookies for some third-party or line-of-business (LOB) apps to function properly.

Note

New Teams for Web isn't supported in VDI environments, so performance and reliability may be negatively impacted if used in VDI. New Teams for Web isn't supported on mobile browsers.

New Teams on Linux

Linux users have access to New Teams for Web and new Teams as a progressive web app (PWA).

New Teams in a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) environment

See Upgrade to New Teams for Virtualized Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) for the requirements for running new Teams in a virtualized environment.

Teams for mobile devices

You can continue using Teams on these mobile platforms:
