Microsoft Teams Launches Unified App

Microsoft has finally launched a unified Microsoft Teams app that allows users to switch between both personal and work accounts. After a couple of years of testing, the new app is now ready in Windows 10 and 11and macOS.

The app supports educational, personal, and work accounts in a single Teams app, improving the experience. Users can join meetings as guests without signing in which was stated by Amit Fulay, the Vice President of Product at Microsoft.

Notifications in Teams will specify the account mentioned when received by users, and notifications for individual accounts will have more information included, allowing users to reply directly from the notification banner.

Microsoft Teams has become widely used in digital work environments, particularly as businesses shifted to remote work during the pandemic. Organizations mainly depend on Teams for strong communication and collaboration features.

The app has chat, video conferencing, and file sharing features and can work alongside other Microsoft programs like SharePoint and Outlook. It is commonly used because of its security features and customizable options for meeting organizational needs.

The new app also includes artificial intelligence capabilities such as smart meeting summaries, improved teamwork, and task organization, compatible with all types of accounts. The changes remove the need of managing multiple logins, improving productivity and allowing the integration of Teams into various work and personal apps.

For users who already have Microsoft Teams on Windows or Mac, the app will automatically update itself. Those who do not have the app can download it from Microsoft’s website.
