Microsoft Teams: Building a Foundation for the Future
Teams has grown to serve over 320 million monthly active users across 181 markets and 44 languages. Today, more than 75% of monthly active users are using the new built-from-the-ground-up desktop app for Windows and Mac. But a new era is on the way.
Read this blog for a deep dive into the many investments Microsoft is making across the board in the fundamentals of Teams, setting a new standard for performance, reliability, and simplicity.

What are the key improvements in the new Microsoft Teams app?
The new Microsoft Teams app has introduced significant improvements, including up to two times faster performance while using 50% less memory. It has optimized app speed for common tasks, reduced the time to join meetings by over 70%, and improved the in-call experience with features like voice isolation and enhanced video data retransmission. Additionally, the app now supports a more efficient AV1 codec for screen sharing, which compresses data more effectively.
How does Microsoft Teams ensure data security and privacy?
Microsoft Teams has adopted advanced security measures such as Trusted Types to prevent cross-site scripting attacks and has implemented a stringent Content Security Policy. The platform also features expanded audit logging, improved authentication methods, and tools to detect and alert on unsafe contact attempts. These investments aim to provide users with greater transparency and control over their data.
What new features are being introduced for user experience in Teams?
Users can look forward to several enhancements, including the ability to organize channels more effectively, mark all messages as read, and utilize domain-specific search filters for quicker results. Additionally, a new unified Teams app will allow users to switch seamlessly between personal and work accounts, simplifying the experience of using Teams for both professional and personal purposes.
