New Microsoft Teams... What You Need to Know!
by Lyndon Doyle - Wed 28 Aug 2024If you've been using Microsoft Teams recently, you might have noticed some changes. Microsoft has officially rolled out the latest version of Teams, and it’s now available to all users. With this update, the previous version has been renamed "Classic Teams," while the new version takes over as the standard Microsoft Teams application.
Why Upgrade to the New Microsoft Teams?
One of the most compelling reasons to upgrade is performance. Let's face it—Classic Teams could be a bit of a resource hog, often causing laptops to slow down considerably. The new version is optimised to be lighter and faster, promising a smoother experience that should make our daily interactions more efficient and enjoyable.
Classic Teams Still Available
For those who prefer or need the original version, Classic Teams is still accessible. You won't be forced to make the switch immediately, so you can continue using the version that suits your workflow best.
Enhanced Account Switching
Another noteworthy feature in the new Teams is the ability to switch seamlessly between work and personal accounts. Previously, this required separate apps or the built-in personal version of Teams in Windows 11. Now, you can manage both work and personal communications within a single application, making it easier to stay organised without the hassle of juggling multiple apps.
