New Teams for Mac - Overview and prerequisites

Note

The features described in this article are available to Teams Public preview and Microsoft 365 Targeted release customers only. Features and content are subject to change. Check back for updates.

The new Teams for Mac has been 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. 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.

How to try new Teams: App Switcher

  • Launch the Teams app and turn on Try the new Teams toggle on the upper-left corner of the desktop app to switch to new Teams.
  • Opt-in by selecting the Try the new Teams toggle and select Get it now.
  • To switch back, just flip the toggle.

Note

This experience is currently optimized for non-EDU users. If you are an EDU user, you will see the App switcher and are welcome to try it out, but we do not recommend you use it for primary scenarios yet.

Prerequisites

Minimum Mac and Teams versions

  • You must be running on macOS Monterey (12) or higher.

  • To see the Try the new Teams toggle, your current Teams app must be running version 1.6.00.12303 or higher. If you are at a lower version, select on the overflow menu (…) and select **>Check for updates >Update, and restart your app. If you still don't see the App Switcher, use Report a Problem.

  • To install the new Teams client, the user needs admin privileges for their computer. If the user doesn't have admin privileges, admins can user their MDM (or whatever other way they deploy and install software on devices without admin privileges) and use this PKG.

Note

Only Microsoft Autoupdate can be used to update new Teams. Learn more: Update Office for Mac automatically

Users can enable screen sharing for sharing content on calls and in meetings using the regular in-app flow when they first try to screen share. This action requires that they restart new Teams. The user needs to drop from the meeting. Alternatively, users can turn on permissions for screen recording under system settings.

Screen sharing for Monterey OS

  1. Open macOS System Preferences.
  2. Go to Security & Privacy > Privacy tab > Screen Recording.
