A new, redesigned, and faster Microsoft Teams application is generally available for all Windows and macOS users starting today.

As revealed when the new Teams was made available as a preview release in March, the new client will launch three times faster, enabling users to switch between chats and channels up to 1.7 times faster than the Classic Teams app.

"We have focused on providing high-quality performance and enhancing the basics in areas such as reliability, security, and IT management to make sure that new Teams meets the evolving requirements of your organization," Microsoft Teams Product Lead Anupam Pattnaik said.

"With the move to general availability, new features and enhancements will be available exclusively on new Teams. New Teams includes support for Multi-tenant organizations and multi-tenant, multi-account, which enable seamless cross-tenant communication and collaboration beyond organizational boundaries across multiple tenants and accounts."

Redmond used the React framework to enhance the speed and performance of the new Teams application on Windows.

Those with Business and Teams Essentials licenses who want to switch to the new Teams app today can do so using the "Try the new Teams" toggle in the top-left corner of the classic Teams app.
