Here's how to make sure your PC will get the new OS – and how to join the Windows Insider preview programme I expect this new Teams Personal client won’t be a Windows 11 exclusive, but Windows 11 will enable some exclusive abilities tightly tied into the OS.Microsoft has announced that Windows 11 will start rolling out to eligible PCs from October 5 2021. Interestingly the URL to download the client was leaked and it does install fine on Windows 10 too, but you don’t get the chat flyout or new Windows wide shortcuts. Additional languages and locales will come later. Experience is localized for English (US) only.Teams client supports both light and dark Windows System modes/themes.
Sync previous Skype consumer or personal contacts into Teams (check box option you can choose to do or not). SMS Support allows mobile/cell users to actually join and interact with chat on SMS, (US, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, India and Great Britain only) see details here:.
Add contacts via an email address or phone number – If they don’t already have a teams consumer account they will be sent an email or SMS. WIN + C anywhere in Windows 11 to launch the chat flyout. This is interesting as it’s essentially a preview of what we might expect in a future enterprise version of Microsoft Teams. It’s Chat only right now, audio and video calling are yet to come in a later build “over the coming weeks” This is only for consumer accounts (e.g type accounts, it’s referred to as “Microsoft Teams Personal”) and won’t allow sign in for Office 365 accounts). This week Microsoft rolled out the Teams 2.0 client to select Windows 11 preview users (on the Windows Insider preview program). A few weeks ago I blogged about the new “Teams 2.0” client which is initially coming for Teams personal (consumer) bundled in with Windows 11.
