Today, we're thrilled to share that the new Microsoft Teams app for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) is now widely available. Users and admins can now enjoy the full benefits of Teams within their virtual environments. This new version of Teams mirrors the classic app in features but provides enhanced performance, reliability, and security.

We appreciate the valuable input from customers during the public preview. Their feedback significantly aided in refining VDI-specific capabilities and ensuring a seamless transition to the new Teams app. The new Teams app promises a speedier experience with better responsiveness, like quicker app launches and meeting joins, while also using less memory and hard drive space.
The efficiency of navigation between chats, channels, and activities has been significantly improved. Users can scroll quickly to pertinent information, benefiting from reduced load times and a smoother scrolling experience. The new Teams app for VDI has been demonstrated to be up to twice as fast as its predecessor while consuming 50% less memory.
Administrators will find app management more straightforward with tools like Microsoft Intune, which supports the deployment and update of Teams through unobtrusive install and uninstall procedures. This promises to conserve network bandwidth and decrease memory usage, all the while incorporating the MSIX packaging format, ensuring compatibility with Windows’ security measures.
