Microsoft finally adds Teams to its own store

You will soon be able to download Microsoft Teams from the Microsoft Store built into Windows, according to a roadmap update of society, as seen by Neowin. Yes, you read it right. Microsoft’s business communications app wasn’t available in its own store until now; you had to download it from the web installed with the rest of Office 365. (But, how ZDNet Observationsera available at any given time in the store exclusively for people using Windows 10 in S mode, which limited where you could install the software from).

According to the roadmap, Teams will be available on the store next month for Windows 10 and 11. The version for Windows 10 will be usable with personal, work and school accounts, while version 11 will be for work and home only. ‘Escuela. Windows 11 includes a version of Teams, which is designed to chat with friends and familiar users and a personal one, not as an alternative to Slack.

Microsoft promised Teams for its store last year when introduces Microsoft Store redesign. It was also then that he announced that you could install Android apps on Windows 11 through the Amazon app store, an ability that ironically gave you the power to grab App Store Teams on your Windows computer for a few months as long as I was ready to use the mobile version.

It’s good to see that Microsoft is working to make Teams on Windows easier to access for those who need it. And as a dual PC/Mac user, I’m glad to hear it’s also testing a native version of Apple Silicon teams; Hope this helps with absolutely frozen app launch times on Mac M1. (Though currently you must download the macOS version from the web rather than using the App Store.)
