Changes to Microsoft Teams software
11 Mar 2024
In October 2023, Microsoft released a new version of the Teams software, making it quicker and easier to use. From Sunday 31 March 2024, the ‘classic’ version of Teams will stop working.
Colleagues in IT Services and in the Digital Champions Network have been trialling the new version on University computers, and by the end of the day on Wednesday 13 March, all colleagues will be able to switch over to the new version.
We recommend that all colleagues switch to the new version in advance of Microsoft’s change, by clicking the “Try the new version of Teams” switch in the top left of the Teams application. This will only take a minute or two to update and will ensure you’re ready before Sunday 31 March.
