The new Teams app has been optimized for resource utilization to free up memory and disk space for other applications and provide compatibility with a broader range of computers. The change enables faster app responses to your actions. With the new Teams, we have lowered shimmering and reduced wait times. A fast-scrolling experience is crucial for you to access relevant information quickly and efficiently. With new Teams, switching between chats, channels, and activities will be instant, without having to wait for content to load. On average, a typical user switches ten thousand times per month, emphasizing the importance of a faster and more responsive experience. To optimize navigation, we prioritized the user interactions that occur most frequently, including switching between different chats, channels, and activities. We made a significant investment to overhaul the Teams platform to meet our goal for new Teams to be twice as fast while using half the system resources. The new Teams also ensures simplified IT management and enhanced data security. You can be signed into multiple organizations and accounts simultaneously and receive notifications for all your accounts, no matter which one is currently in use. It adds support for users that collaborate across organizations and manage multiple work or school accounts. The new Teams has been optimized for more efficient use of system resources, using up to 50% less memory. With the new Teams app that launches up to 2X faster and enables you to join meetings up to 2X faster, you can focus on what matters most to you.

New Teams is built on a foundation of speed, performance, and flexibility, to help you save time, and work together more efficiently. We have been listening to your feedback which has culminated in a reimagining of Teams from the ground up to provide a faster, simpler, and more flexible experience. As we announced in this blog post, today we’re starting to roll out the preview version of the new Teams desktop app for Windows.
