Be it for chat functionality, collaboration or telephony.<br \/>\nDespite all the advantages that Microsoft Teams brings with it, it is also known that the Teams client is a performance monster.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft has been working on a successor version for some time, which is now ready for rollout as a public preview. The new version will be rolled out worldwide from 27.03.2023.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"ocpAlertSection\"><b class=\"ocpNote\">IMPORTANT: <\/b>The new version is not the Teams version, which comes natively with Windows 11.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>What can we expect from the new Teams client?<\/h3>\n<p>The most important improvement is performance. This is reflected in the following benchmark:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>3x faster installation<\/li>\n<li>2x faster launch<\/li>\n<li>2x faster joining a meeting or a call<\/li>\n<li>1.7x faster switching between chats and channels<\/li>\n<li>50% less memory (RAM) needed<\/li>\n<li>70% less memory needed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A direct comparison is shown in the following video:<\/p>\n<p><video controls=\"controls\" width=\"850\" height=\"400\"><source src=\"\u201d<a\" href=\"https:\/\/msb365.abstergo.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/NewTeamsClient_.mp4\" target=\"_blank\" \/>New Teams Client.\u201d type=video\/ogg><source src=\"https:\/\/msb365.abstergo.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/NewTeamsClient_.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\" \/><\/video><\/p>\n<p>Demo new Teams Client<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>How do I get the new Teams version?<\/h3>\n<p>As already mentioned, the new Teams client has been available in the public preview version since 27 March. This is currently only for Windows devices, Mac OS will be released at a later date.<br \/>\nIn order to use the public preview version, the tenant administrators have to activate a so-called opt-in for the users, after which the users can activate the new version in their Teams client.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-5076\" src=\"https:\/\/msb365.abstergo.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Picture1-1024x777.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"777\" srcset=\"https:\/\/msb365.abstergo.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Picture1-1024x777.png 1024w, https:\/\/msb365.abstergo.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Picture1-300x228.png 300w, https:\/\/msb365.abstergo.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Picture1-768x583.png 768w, https:\/\/msb365.abstergo.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Picture1-1536x1166.png 1536w, https:\/\/msb365.abstergo.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Picture1-2048x1554.png 2048w, https:\/\/msb365.abstergo.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Picture1-1600x1214.png 1600w, https:\/\/msb365.abstergo.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Picture1-905x687.png 905w, https:\/\/msb365.abstergo.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Picture1-1320x1002.png 1320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Does the new version also bring new problems?<\/h3>\n<p>Basically, many known problems are fixed with the new version. Through the intensive testing phase by Microsoft and dedicated Microsoft MVP\u2019s, many bugs could be identified and fixed.<br \/>\nThe idea of the public preview version is to test the new client on a larger scale in order to find possible further bugs and eliminate them before the \u201cGA release\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, no new problems should occur with the GA version.<br \/>\nIt should simply be noted that when apps are used in teams from third party manufacturers, no guarantee can be given that they will continue to function properly.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Are there more innovations in Microsoft Teams?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, and more than we have seen in a long time!
