Microsoft has rolled out a new unified Teams app for Windows and Mac users, allowing seamless switching between personal, work, and education accounts without multiple apps. Users can sign in once, switch accounts without re-logging, and join meetings without logging in. The update is now available for download on Microsoft’s website.
Key takeaways from the meeting notes:
– Microsoft has launched a new unified Teams application for Windows and Mac users, allowing them to switch between personal, work, and education accounts without the need to install multiple apps.
– The new app also supports seamless switching between accounts without signing out and signing in again, and users can join meetings without logging into an account.
– The unified Microsoft Teams experience is now available on Windows 10 and 11, as announced by Amit Fulay, VP of Product at Microsoft.
– Users can connect and collaborate with anyone using their personal email address or phone number and can join as a guest without signing in.
– The update is available for all users and can be downloaded from Microsoft’s website, with already installed desktop apps updating automatically.
– Microsoft had previously announced the plan to provide a single Teams Windows and macOS app for all account types in March.
– A preview version was rolled out to Windows Insiders in the Canary and Dev channels using specific Microsoft Teams versions and was automatically deployed on certain Windows 11 Insider Preview Builds.
– The new app has improved notifications, indicating which Teams account they belong to and showing more details to make it easier to interact with the alerts.
– The unified preview app was previously called “Microsoft Teams (work or school)” but has now been simplified to “Microsoft Teams,” and the naming scheme has been further simplified by removing “Microsoft Teams (free).”
