We’re excited to announce that the new Planner app in Microsoft Teams (web and desktop) is now available to customers in the Government Community Cloud (GCC) High environment!
There’s no migration required—your existing tasks, basic plans, and premium plans are already in the new Planner. In August, we introduced the modern Planner experience on the web for GCC High. Now, that same experience comes to Microsoft Teams—the hub for teamwork in Microsoft 365—so your teams can plan, track, and collaborate on work right alongside their chats, meetings, and files.
Add the Planner app in Teams and start managing all your work in one place
You can learn more about the new Planner in our previous announcement.

Getting started
Open Planner in Teams. You can also find the Planner app in the Apps browser. Start by selecting the View more apps “…” menu in the navigation bar. Then, select the Planner icon.
Once you’ve added Planner, you can pin the app (select Pin) to the left side of Teams for easy access.
Differences for customers in GCC High
It’s important to note that a few features are not available to customers in GCC High. These include:
- Copilot in Planner.
- Tasks assigned to you in premium plans will not appear in the My Tasks view.
- The ability to convert a basic plan to a premium plan.
- Task history in premium plans.
