New team, new luck

Get to know the team, which has been developed from scratch, as it is now available in preview version. It's the fastest version of Teams yet and easier and more flexible than ever before. You have the opportunity to switch between different apps more quickly, respond to chat messages and participate in calls and meetings more quickly. Meanwhile, you automatically use less battery and memory. The layout is largely identical to the previous one.

Note: It is not already activated for every company. To do this, contact your IT department.

 

 

Then click on the get option in the pop-up field. The new team is now installed. (The app will restart to open the new Teams)

 

 

Note: If the button does not appear, contact your IT department.
