Unified Teams app for work, personal, and education accounts is now available on all platforms

amitfulayHello! Has it been evaluated to allow update through the Microsoft Store? Now that Teams is a unified app, it could be beneficial for bandwidth consumption in organizations. For example, reading https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/do/waas-delivery-optimization#types-of-download-content-supported-by-delivery-optimization,, it looks like MSTeams updates can only be obtained from the cloud and won't benefit from peer-to-peer or MCC, contraty to a hosted UWP store app.

On another note: what I understand is that Teams (personal) users will be flipped to the unified Teams at some point when they launch Teams, but for the update to happen Teams must be in use -- for the self-updater to run. Just for the trill: I completely uninstalled the MSTeams MSIX package (the new unified Microsoft Teams, which really is the Microsoft Teams for work or school) from my device:

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers -Name MSTeams | Remove-AppxPackage -AllUsers

I then and installed an old MicrosoftTeams MSIX package (Microsoft Teams personal) from Winget. https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/tree/master/manifests/m/Microsoft/Teams/Free, which is the oldest listed in the repository:

winget install Microsoft.Teams.Free --version 24047.202.2704.38

Then I launched Teams.

- It updated in the background, using its embedded update mechanism, first to version MicrosoftTeams 24193.1904.3031.6050.

- Closed Teams, and relaunched it. It again updated in the background to MicrosoftTeams 24193.1905.3048.7590.

- Closed Teams again and launched it, and finally, it background-updated to MSTeams 24193.1805.3040.8975.

- Closed one last time MicrosoftTeams, and it was finally replaced with the unified MSTeams.
