- Is there a timeline of when Teams 2.0 will have "like for like" features as the old Teams? Leaders in IT want to try it, but with it missing features, I feel cautious to show them the incomplete product yet.

More features are coming to new Teams later this year. Please refer to this post https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-teams-events/new-microsoft-teams-ama/ec-p/3795238#M836.
- I just started using this today and I had my dial pad and it was really cool then it updated, and I lost it. I have to go back to the old version for my dial pad to populate.

Welcome to the Microsoft Teams Ask Microsoft Anything for the new Teams announced at Enterprise Connect!
This live hour gives you the opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback directly to the team. Please post any questions in a separate, new comment thread below.
To start, introduce yourself by replying to this thread and tell us where you’re logging in from!
- Ben here from West Michigan. Modern Work Training and Adoption department of an IT Company. Excited for all of the innovations from Microsoft and for this leading collaboration platform we've come to love called Teams!
- Emily from Seattle, WA
- Rob from St. Louis, MO, USA
- I have been on the preview now for two weeks. I see that the application is being updated on a daily basis however I am unable to see what is being updated. Could you please publish the changes made to each build and possibly a preview of when we can expect some of the functions to be made available in Preview that are still only available in the normal production platform. Example adding applications to Team channels.
- Karuana_Gatimu_MSFTHI Brendan - We update our https://aka.ms/NewTeams every week as well as our administrative documentation that is linked to from there. Changes are happening quickly however so we are doing it by higher level category as we march toward our general availability later this calendar year.
- Can you please share the plans for bringing the Manage API to Teams 2.0 - specifically the Stream Deck integration. When? What's the plan for additional actions like "accept call" etc.? I like that feature very much in the current Teams App and missing it in the new Teams App.
- Karuana_Gatimu_MSFTHello Florian - We will make new announcements about our platform capabilities at Microsoft Build at the end of May. Once announced we hope that Stream Deck, who develops that integration, will take advantage of any new API's to improve the Stream Deck app. I love that as well so I hope they do!
- Will MS Teams 2.0 allow for multiple users?
- Yes, Multi-Account and Multi-Tenant is part 2.0 client.
- Can you please explain how Multi-tenant will be part of the 2.0 client and how it will make collaboration easier for multi-tenant organizations?
- Do you have approximate GA schedule?
- Please share adoption strategy for Teams 2.0.
- Please share deployment strategy and best practices.
- Please share capabilities comparison table for classic Teams vs new Teams 2.0
Thank you.

Hello there... in order:
1. Later this calendar year we will get to feature parity with New Teams features
2. Our adoption strategy is very similar to all new capabilities. Use our resources at https://aka.ms/NewTeams to share the "faster, simpler and more flexible" messaging. From that page you can also see my video talking about New Teams benefits that you can use to identify the user communities who should have it first.
3. The best practice since we are still in preview is to release it to early adopters first and people who can understand switching back and forth with the toggle. Rolling it out to the rest of your organization can be based on their use of features that are not yet available. To learn more about this you can join our Champions program and hear more in our monthly meetings at https://aka.ms/M365Champions
4. Please refer to our https://aka.ms/NewTeams page for the overview and from there you can go into our administrative documentation for more details.
Thank you!
- How will the Device Install working? Currently the Teams Wide installer is more then a mess ... It dont Updates itself, the MSI is always in User mode (Intune LOB App) etc. We are Preprovisioning alle Devices with Autopilot and need Teams for alle Users that will use this Device. (M365 Apps for Enterprise with Teams, just installs also the Teams Wide Intaller that also not Update itself ...)
- Sam CosbyHey there - This Teams MSIX will be a superset of our msi functionality in the future. In this new installer model Teams app is installed in program files and available to any user on that machine. Thanks for the question!
- Will it be possible to manage more features of the Call Queues and Auto Attendants in the new Teams client? In the current EA-version of the regular Teams client, there is already the option to change the different greeting messages, but we need more flexibility in letting users who are responsible for certain Auto Attendants to adjust the working hours and the redirect to other numbers after workhours without ICT intervention (like it was possible in Skype for Business for years by granting them access to the RGSConfig page. Not being able to do this in Teams is a huge setback in our current Skype for Business to Teams migration
- Thanks for the feedback, Bertin! I'll make sure the feature team has this feedback. You can also always share ideas for Microsoft Teams and vote/comment on others' ideas on the Feedback Portal at https://aka.ms/TeamsFeedback For others who read this, here's the link to the public preview which lets admins in Microsoft Teams grant permission to authorized users to update greetings on a call queue or auto attendant. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-teams-public-preview/now-in-public-preview-user-managed-call-queue-and-auto-attendant/m-p/3797513
- will presenter modes like "standout" (the best!) be included soon?
