![]() The Premium add-on includes some features that previously were available at no additional cost to Teams customers. The already-announced Teams Premium add-on, which costs $10 per user per month, will provide several new features, including intelligent meeting recap. It will also (finally!) support simultaneous login to multiple tenancies, a long-requested feature, and will include a new drop-down panel that will show tenancies and accounts in use, so that users can receive notifications no matter which profile is currently active. The new Teams also will include a UI overhaul that will allow users to more easily stay on top of notifications, search for information, manage messages and organize channels. Microsoft already built its consumer Teams platform on top of the WebView 2 framework and made the UI simpler and more intuitive, and the new Teams apps are expected to look and feel similar, though not identical, to the consumer Teams app. Microsoft officials say the new Teams will be two times faster and consume 50 percent less memory than the current Teams, allowing it to run better on low-end laptops and use less battery. This will help make Teams perform better and feel less bloated. Microsoft has rewritten the new Teams app so that it's no longer an Electron-wrapped application instead, it will use the Microsoft WebView 2 control to host the Teams experience. Teams users in the public preview program will be able to get the new Teams for Windows preview immediately, while commercial customers will need their admins to opt into the preview before they will see the toggle allowing them to switch back and forth between the new Teams and classic Teams. Microsoft will continue to support classic Teams for a transition period even while the new Teams rolls out. The preview for Mac users is coming later this year. The new Teams app for Windows is slated to become generally available in June 2023 by which time Microsoft promises it will have feature parity with "classic" Teams. On March 27, Microsoft is making the new Teams Windows app (actually known as Teams 2.1), available as a public preview after many months of it being tested by its own employees inside the company. ![]() Microsoft's next major version of its Teams collaboration platform - referred to by many as "Teams 2.0" - has been rumored for several years. ![]()
