So it's finally here. The new Teams client. Teams Modern. Or what we've referred to here in MVP world as Teams 2.1 over the past several months. On the day it dropped I was over in Paris speaking at MWCP23. No time for blogs. No time to even post one up on social. Of course I saw a few of my friends who did. Good old Vesku. Sara. But between us whilst I kind of expected to see and hear a lot more about it I am also unsurprised given that maybe it's been a little diluted by the waterboarding we've received from Microsoft over the course of the past few weeks. The cacophony of Copilot. The real strong but still SKU based XDR integration via Microsoft Defender for Office 365 as announced at Secure. For me it is 2.1. which tops them all, and which is the most exciting of all and one which I would suggest will trigger a renaissance of sorts. Yes, l look forward to covering and deconstructing all of these things in the months ahead. But today is all about getting to the new Teams Client, and in the process forcing public preview to users from the admin end. Now being in public preview - and being only for the Windows desktop client currently 2.1 will still be more for the few as opposed to the many. And having tested it thoroughly there is still gaps between it and what we now refer to as Teams classic where we may need to move back and forth between the two from time to time, or have the classic version open in a browser. Those gaps will close in time as we head towards GA when the new experience is rolled out further and backed by an SLA. So what are we waiting for?
