Why the Transition to the New Teams Version is Crucial
If your organization uses Microsoft Teams, it’s essential to know that the Classic Teams version will soon be replaced by the New Teams version. This update is not just a cosmetic change; the New Teams version offers a significantly improved user experience, especially for those using Teams from a VDI solution such as Windows 365, AVD or Citrix.
Benefits of the New Teams Version on VDI
- Improved User Experience: The New Teams version has been optimized for a smoother and more responsive experience, which is crucial for productivity and collaboration.
- Automatic Plugin Detection and Installation: The New Teams client automatically detects if you have the correct plugin installed on your local device. If not, it automatically downloads the required plugin for you. This reduces technical complications and ensures that you are always up-to-date with the latest functionality.
- Better Integration with VDI: The New Teams version is better integrated with VDI solutions, resulting in less latency and a more stable connection.
Important Dates to Keep an Eye On
- Classic Teams on VDI: Support ends Oct. 1, 2024.
- New Teams on VDI: Availability ends July 1, 2025.

It is important to migrate to the New Teams version in a timely manner to prevent your organization from using an unsupported version, which can lead to security risks and reduced functionality.
