Exciting News for Teams users! Microsoft Classic Teams is Reaching the End of Life. Microsoft announced that the Classic Team’s availability has reached the end, and a new Teams client will be rolled out. The new version of Classic Team will be available for users after March 31, 2024.

On April 12, 2023, Microsoft launched a new version of Microsoft Teams Free called Classic Teams. It is a legacy-free Teams app for business, and it is introduced to investing in a single free Teams experience across personal and small businesses.

This new version will be available for users who are still using classic Teams. Installing the new version actually means installing the new Teams client for users who still have the classic Teams client and uninstalling the classic Teams client 14 days after the installation of the new Teams.

The new Teams client will give you a wonderful experience. The new version gives more control to admins. This blog post helps you to know more about the new Teams Client.
