Ahead of the release of Windows 11 later this year, Microsoft is working on a redesigned version of Microsoft Teams for the next version of its operating system that will also run on Windows 10. First announced at the computer giant's Windows 11 event software, the main update to its video conferencing software is currently called Microsoft Teams 2.0. The biggest difference between the existing Teams client and the future is the fact that Microsoft Teams 2.0 is based on Edge WebView2 instead of Electron, which will allow Microsoft to use embedded web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with the Chromium renderer. At the same time, Teams 2.0 will no longer use Angular and will now use the open source React.js front-end JavaScript library.
Microsoft Teams 2.0
As Windows Latest pointed out, the new Microsoft Teams client is based on Microsoft Teams for the web, although it's not that different from the existing app or website. However, because it uses Edge WebView2, Teams 2.0 no longer has an address bar, and users will be able to run the app in a separate window like they could with the old app. The browser extension and main menu have also been removed in the new client to give you a more native app-like experience, though traces of Microsoft Edge can still be found by right-clicking anywhere in the app. . Based on the latest Windows testing of Teams 2.0 on a preview version of Windows 11, the media noted that the app is now significantly faster on the desktop and works better on low-end devices. Microsoft Teams 2.0 also uses less memory, and performance is also slightly better. The app now launches instantly and Teams users will no longer be stuck on the loading screen due to Microsoft Edge background processes and the inclusion of WebView2. Unlike the previous client, the Teams 2.0 application window can now be resized and the interface automatically adapts to it. Microsoft has also added integrations with native notifications and other Windows 10 features. Although many features are now available in the new client, advanced controls are still missing, limiting Ensemble mode functionality and preventing bugs. Users must change the noise cancellation features of equipment. Microsoft Teams 2.0 already looks like a welcome update, though Microsoft plans to enable support for additional features like multiple accounts and improved PowerPoint integration in the coming weeks before officially announcing its new Teams experience.
