Teams update coming, starting January 2024

Starting in January 2024, Microsoft will start upgrading Teams. We don’t have a date for when RRU’s MS Teams will be updated, but it will likely be before the end of March 2024.

What's Changing:


Fresh Look	The interface is nicer, cleaner, and easier-to-use.
Better with Office 365	Teams will work better with other Microsoft tools like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. This means smoother collaboration and less hassle when working on documents.
New Stuff to Try	Get ready for features like improved file-sharing, easier task management, and some new ways to connect with your teammates
Safety First	Microsoft is making sure Teams stays secure.
Speed Boost	Teams is getting a speed boost! Faster load times, better video calls – everything's getting a bit snappier for a smoother experience.
