The new Microsoft Teams desktop client

  • Artikkeli

Important

We have updated the offical name of classic Teams as follows:

  • "Microsoft Teams classic" for Windows 10 and Mac devices.
  • "Microsoft Teams classic (work or school)" for Windows 11 devices.

Tip

What is the new Teams?

The new Teams desktop client is reimagined from the ground up with performance in mind, providing a faster, simpler, and more flexible experience. The new Teams client installs and loads faster, letting you launch the app and join meetings more quickly, giving you more time to focus on the business tasks.

The new Teams ensures more efficient use of device resources. You can lower memory and disk usage with a Teams app optimized for your device. Whether you have users on multiple accounts or tenants, the new Teams can help eliminate the silos and bring them together in one place, giving them more extensibility and scale.
