Microsoft has reminded customers that Microsoft 365 apps and services will drop support for the legacy Internet Explorer 11 web browser next month, on August 17, 2021.
According to Microsoft, users experiencing issues when attempting to access Microsoft 365 apps or services after August 17 will not be offered support.
Using the new Microsoft Edge's Internet Explorer mode will not help extend IE11 access to Microsoft 365 products beyond the end of support.
This reminder comes after Microsoft first announced plans to ditch support for the Microsoft Edge Legacy and Internet Explorer 11 web browsers in Windows 10 and Microsoft 365.
Following that initial announcement, Microsoft Teams had already dropped support for Internet Explorer 11 on November 30, 2020.
After being retired on systems running Windows 10 client SKUs and Windows 10 IoT, the Internet Explorer desktop app will be disabled, automatically redirecting users to Microsoft Edge when launched.
