You use Microsoft Teams as part of your job? Good news: a new version for Windows and Mac is available, with many improvements.
So much new stuff at Teams! In testing since last March, the new Microsoft Teams is out for all users, whether they are on a Windows or Apple computer. “ Reimagined from the ground up », the instant messaging application intended for professionals gains a large number of improvements, both visible and more discreet.
To take advantage of it today, simply activate the button at the top left of the interface. Otherwise, the migration will happen automatically in the coming months.
Microsoft Teams: faster, simpler, smarter and more flexible
First of all, from its preview, this new version was twice as fast as the old one while consuming 50% less memory and storage space. Good news still relevant in the final version on Windows (which is based on Microsoft Edge’s WebView2 technology) for users looking for productivity using a modest machine. The version for Mac is also faster, but also more secure.
The new Microsoft Teams also supports multiple accounts and tenants (MTO and MTMA) to facilitate cross-collaboration and communication. It is thus possible to be connected to several accounts at the same time and to communicate easily with several people and organizations.
Improvements and a little AI
The new Microsoft Teams also offers more options for customizing its interface while automatically supporting the system’s light or dark theme. It is also possible in this version to mark notifications as views, which will soon be offered in chats and channels.
Accessibility is not forgotten, with improvements in keyboard shortcuts to navigate the interface or screen readers. Finally, in 2023, Microsoft is injecting a little AI in the form of Microsoft Copilot. The tool allows you to obtain summaries of long conversations, key points of a product and suggestions in real time during a meeting. It is also capable of creating emails or FAQs on topics or meetings.
