Microsoft has released a new version of the Teams app that provides new features and much improved performance. UVM is deploying this new version of the Teams app in early January, prior to the start of the semester. We’ve added a Knowledge Base article describing the experience of switching to the new Teams app.

Most aspects of using the new Teams app will be familiar and faster. Folks who use the List view in Teams will find that the new Teams defaults to the Tile view (as did Teams Classic). You can easily make List view your preference in the new Teams app settings.

Microsoft will switch all organizations to the Teams app in March; we’re transitioning now to avoid potention disruption mid-semester.

If you have questions or concerns, please visit the UVM IT Knowledge Base or contact the ETS Tech Team.
