Infrastructure / Architecture[edit]

I came here in the hope of finding out what exactly how Teams is deployed, but there is no explanation. The article needs to at least set the foundation of understanding of how Teams is deployed. The internet is full of information of what Teams is as a collaboration tool, so reproducing on that here adds very little value to the topic. The following questions should be addressed in this article:

what infrastructure is the platform deployed on? cloud? privately hosted? etc
what is the connectivity of the client software running on the computer and the host? where ever that host is, see 1.
what hardware/software does an enterprise need to put in place to use teams in their organisation
what other requirements are there on the enterprise systems to use Teams

I attempted to provide some information related to deployment options for Microsoft Teams, however, the edit was rejected on account of it being 'How To' content. Sorry, I tried :) Poonawalla M. (talk) 13:48, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Added reference links to product documentation so you can find your answers. It’s a cloud only subscription service that is part of Microsoft 365. It can be accessed with a web, mobile or desktop clients for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android or Linux (in preview). Basic functionality requires no on premise hardware but certain voice configurations may require configuration with existing equipment. More details are in the technical documentation link in the main article section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Karuana (talk • contribs) 19:41, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No Version Listed in citations 3 and 4[edit]

The version citations, 3 and 4, link to pages where no version number is listed. They should be removed. The only place I have found a version number for MS Teams is in the About menu, in MS Teams. Austinman (talk) 01:34, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Page update[edit]

Hello, I believe page has been sufficiently updated over the past year to merit removing the "This article needs to be updated." flag that was placed in 2021. I wanted to get a consensus before flag removal. Thank you.

Apps[edit]

I think it would be good for the article to talk about the use of apps within Teams. Two specific examples are MS Lists and MS Planner. Although these apps exist as standalone browser-based tools, I think the wave of the future is for these apps and others like them to be used within the context of Teams.

New Teams, what is it?[edit]

Apparently Microsoft is rolling out a "new Microsoft Teams", "rebuilt from the ground up", released around October 2023. And apparently the back-end switched from the Electron.js framework to its own Edge WebView2 control. And there's a setting to switch back and forth between New Teams and Classic Teams.

None of this is mentioned yet in the article, and I'm not very aware of what's going on. Could someone add some of this to the article? Like, are there substantive changes along with this, or is it mostly the same from the end-user perspective? --Hirsutism (talk) 19:17, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The app icon in the taskbar even has a prominent "New" in it, so the "New Teams" branding is pretty strong. --Hirsutism (talk) 17:08, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
