Microsoft has finally answered the calls of many users by releasing a unified Teams app. This new app merges the previously separate work/education and personal versions into a single platform, allowing seamless access to all your Teams accounts, regardless of their purpose.
The unified app is available across Windows 11, Windows 10, and Mac, offering a streamlined experience for users who juggle multiple Teams accounts. With work, personal, and education chats and interactions now accessible from within the same app, switching between accounts is as simple as clicking your profile picture.
Key Improvements:
- Single App for All Accounts: No more switching between separate apps for work and personal life.
- Side-by-Side Windows: Keep your different accounts organized and easily accessible.
- Free Access for Personal Use: Connect and collaborate with anyone for free using your personal email.
- Set Default Account: Choose which account you prefer to use when joining meetings.
- Guest Mode: Participate in Teams meetings without needing a full account.
This update also includes some other handy features, like the ability to set your default account and a new guest mode. If you already have Teams installed, it should update automatically. New users can download the latest version from Microsoft’s website.
This move to a unified Teams app aligns with Microsoft’s recent efforts to improve the Teams experience, including a major performance boost and a more modern design. It’s a welcome change that simplifies the way users interact with Teams across their various activities and contexts.
