Teams 2.0 for all?
Ina replyto a question on a blog post concerning “performance enhancements” for Microsoft Teams, Mark Longton, a Group Principal Program Manager at the company, seemingly confirmed that the new version would be coming to more users soon.
Replying to a question about Microsoft Teams 2.0 features coming to more users soon, Longton noted, “I can say that there is a heavy resource allocation towards the WebView2 work you mention for business users…although I am not able to comment on any timeline at this time.”
“Fully appreciate the need to keep pushing hard in this area across responsiveness, latency, and resource utilization both with short team gains and longer term architectural changes to achieve step function improvements,” he added.
