How to enable the new Microsoft Teams Public Preview: The Future of team collaboration has landed

Microsoft has announced that they are targeting the general availability of a new version of Teams later this year, in 2023. However, they have also launched a public preview of the new Teams for commercial customers using Windows. The preview will be extended to a broader set of customers, including those using Macs, later this year.

Users in the Public Preview program will have access to the new Teams right away, but for the broader set of commercial customers, an admin will need to first opt-in. After opting in, users will see a simple toggle to switch to the new Teams. It’s important to note that users will also be able to switch back to classic Teams at any time.
