No co-authoring in Teams without Office ProPlus?
What version of Office client is required for Teams to have full functionalities/best UX? Nothing is mentioned in the https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/upgrade-plan-journey-prerequisit...
Michele Casazza It is good you found the information already on desktop application requirements.
However, I'd like to point out also that Office Online allows co-authoring. So you can co-author many documents without the need for Office Proplus. However, Online doesn't come en par with desktop application functionalities and there are limits in documents (especially Excel) that is supported.
Vesa Nopanen Is it fair to say that without Office 365 client apps you don't get the full co-authoring experience on desktop? (The limitation seems to be attributable to Excel)
Not exactly. Office Online provides a real good co-authoring experience - with quite fast updates.
What Office Online lacks, is the full support to features desktop applications provide. Especially on Excel. But this depends a lot of what kind Excel spreadsheet you have.
Usually the best practice is to use latest versions of Office 365 client apps to make sure co-authoring also works the best way - and be used with Online versions also.
