- MadaniOwaisCopper ContributorThe notify when available' option in Chat has gone in the New Teams. Or is it moved to the different setting?
- Forrest_HIron ContributorIt was removed. That is how they say they are getting to Feature Parity. By removing things.
- jkfboyerCopper ContributorIs there a way to stay on Teams Classic and control the roll out to our enterprise? How long will the toggle to switch back to classic be?

Automatic upgrade dates to New Teams were announced today, you can see the detailed information here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/MicrosoftTeams/new-teams-automatic-upgrade-announced
- DennisGaidaBrass ContributorThe new Teams is said to have "almost feature parity", but I see features left and right missing. Please document the missing features or things you are still working on. Also if you plan on dropping features that would be a very welcome information. Where is the roadmap for which features we will see when? Many of the video effect features, Snapchat, Maybelinne filter. Local API.
- Forrest_HIron ContributorList of Known Issues / changes listed by MS https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/new-teams-known-issues
- nhawk258Iron ContributorPlease, stop sharing that link. Microsoft is not keeping it up to date and it is missing a number of bug reports. Providing this link as the list of known issues creates headaches for admins trying to troubleshoot.
- Hughes818Iron ContributorAre users going to need to have an M365 Copilot license $30/mo/user in order for them to user Copilot in Teams or will there be some limited features provided with their standard or premium Teams licenses? By the way, is there a list somewhere that lists all the Copilots that are coming as well as which license each of them requires? I have heard that there are something like 90 different copilots…some usable with standard licenses…and some requiring premium licenses.
- Paul FredericksonBrass ContributorAgreed, it's confusing to have CoPilot listed as a new feature on the materials (like in the blog) if it's only going to apply to those with specific licenses with no mention of that caveat.
- John GardnerBrass ContributorIs there a plan to overhaul Teams Admin Center? The current admin center is dodgy when it comes to maneuvering between policies and seeing which users are applied to the policies, amongst other things.
- WendyEBrass ContributorFrom what I've read so far, I don't want to roll out "New Teams" to my organisation - it would cripple us! How can we stop it?
- Forrest_HIron ContributorYou don't have a choice much longer. We have a drop-dead date, and you're switching, whether you like it or not. March 31, 2024 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/MicrosoftTeams/new-teams-automatic-upgrade-announced
- VaheesKBrass ContributorNew Teams is not that bad. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/new-teams-known-issues You need to have the Teams Update Policy setup so new Teams it not an option to your users. This is done via Teams admin centre or PowerShell.
- Hughes818Iron ContributorThe People app and Meet app are only going to be for New Teams, right?
- anymannCopper ContributorPretty sure, yes!
- Michelle_SweeneyBrass ContributorAre there still things that cannot be done in new teams that must be done in classic? is there a help guide for roles and different features and applications that do / do not work in new teams?
- katszOccasional ReaderYup, one major issue. We can't log out properly!! Before, as long as you hit 'Sign out', you were prompted for your password when logging back in. Now, it just logs you in automatically! And yes, we checked the Windows Setting for Accounts>Access work or school - empty!. There's no setting that asked us to 'sign in to this app only' or I can't find anything out of the ordinary in the settings or registry editor, which is very concerning. I hope this gets fixed by the drop dead date, but for now, we cannot use New Teams the way it is right now.
- VaheesKBrass Contributorhttps://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/new-teams-known-issues
- JPElrodCopper ContributorThe known issue list at that web link is incomplete. We already have several features that were confirmed missing by Microsoft support that aren't listed on that page.
- dantle1017Copper ContributorWhen is it available for GCC and GCC H? As of today, in our GCC tenant, public review is still not available.
- PaulA10Copper ContributorHow will previews work? We currently have some users in our org and members of my team with the "Try the new Teams" button available but it is greyed out. Where can I see which of my users will get this and how can I make it available to switch on for my team to test. Also, when will this update be forced on everyone?
