Microsoft Teams Update to New Version – Launching January 2024

In early January 2024, Microsoft will automatically update the Microsoft Teams desktop application to new Teams. The new Microsoft Teams app was reimagined from the ground up for a faster, simpler, and more flexible experience.

There is no major impact to the user experience for new Teams. The transition will be seamless, and you'll be able to continue to use the features you're currently used to.

Between now and January 2024, you can continue to use the classic Teams desktop application without interruption.
