New Teams 2.1 Client Hits General Availability
On October 5, 2023, Microsoft announced the general availability of the new Teams 2.1 client. Based on a new architecture and promising better performance and lower system resource usage, Teams 2.1 is available for Windows and macOS desktops and browsers. The signs are good as the client has been in public preview since March, but we'll only really know how successful the client is after several months of use. https://practical365.com/teams-2-1-client/Explicit recording consent not working in the new Teams app
We have enabled explicit recording consent in our tenant: https://office365itpros.com/2023/03/13/explicit-consent-for-teams-recordings/ This works fine in the "old" Teams client, but anyone using the new Teams app cannot enable their microphone when recording is activated, and hence not consent and participate in meetings. Anyone got this to work in the new Teams app?Preparing for the Teams 2.1 Client to Arrive
Microsoft is dropping lots of hints to the press about the imminent arrival of the new Teams client (V2.1), due to arrive in public preview in late March 2023. According to reports, the new Teams client will deliver better performance while using 50% less memory and making fewer demands for CPU. It all sounds great. With the new client coming into sight, it’s time to prepare Teams update policies to make sure that the right users get the new software at the right time. https://office365itpros.com/2023/03/07/new-teams-client-preparation/
