Good News – Microsoft Teams is getting a makeover!

by | Feb 23, 2023 | News

Coming in March 2023 – Teams 2.0!

Faster, more responsive and with less resource requirement. That means that if you are working on the road, your laptop battery will last longer!
The new version is reported to use 50% less memory, and less CPU power.

The preview version is due in March 2023 and the production version will be a little later.

Microsoft have changed some of the underlying tools they use, moving from something called ‘Electron’ to ‘Webview2’ which seems to be a technology that came forward in Windows 11.

If, for some reason, you want to go back to the old version, you will be able to.

We’ve become very used to the rapid development in Teams – custom backgrounds, hands-up and reactions, breakout rooms, polls, live meeting transcriptions and so on. At this stage, we don’t know if all these features will be in Teams 2.0 at the start, but it seems likely that they will be.
