Microsoft has been working on improving the functionality of the Teams desktop app, and in March 2023, it released a test version of the updated Teams app that fundamentally reviewed the app design and improved operating speed and memory consumption.

The official release of the updated Teams app was announced on Thursday, October 5, 2023. The transition to the updated version will be applied automatically within the next few months, and if you want to use the updated version immediately, you can switch to the updated version from the toggle switch in the top left of the screen.
