New Teams vs Classic Teams

Admin Deployment — Intune, SCCM, GPO

For tenant-wide rollout, use the MSI (not EXE). The MSI installs per-machine (under Program Files) so all users on the device share one binary.

msiexec /i Teams_x64.msi ALLUSERS=1 /qn

For Intune Win32 deployment: wrap the MSI in .intunewin using the Microsoft Win32 Content Prep Tool, then assign to a device group. Detection rule: registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Teams.

For SCCM / Configuration Manager: import the MSI as an Application, set the install command to msiexec /i Teams_x64.msi ALLUSERS=1 /qn, and detection method to the GUID or the registry key above.

For Group Policy: assign the MSI via Computer Configuration → Software Installation → Assigned (not Published).

Common Install / Launch Errors

FAQ

Is there a portable / no-install version of Teams?

No. Teams must be installed. The closest alternative is the web client at teams.microsoft.com — full functionality except for some advanced calling features.

Can I run Teams Classic and New Teams side by side?

Yes, during the transition period. Both can coexist on the same machine. The taskbar icon switches based on which you launched last. Once your tenant is moved fully to New Teams, Classic becomes uninstalled automatically.

How do I download Teams without a Microsoft account?

All MSI/PKG/APK links above are direct — no account needed to download. You only need an M365 / Teams Free account to sign in after install.

What's the difference between Teams Free and Teams for Work?

Teams Free supports 60-min meetings, 100 attendees, basic chat. Teams for Work (with M365 Business Basic+) supports unlimited length, 300+ attendees, SharePoint/OneDrive integration, compliance, advanced admin.

Where does Teams store its data on Windows?

New Teams: %localappdata%\Packages\MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe (MSIX appcontainer). Classic Teams: %appdata%\Microsoft\Teams. Both also write to %localappdata%\Microsoft\Teams.

Why does Teams use so much RAM in Classic?

Teams Classic runs on Electron — essentially a packaged Chromium browser per window. New Teams uses WebView2 (Windows-native Edge engine, shared across apps), cutting memory ~3-4×.

Can I download Teams for Linux?

No native client. Microsoft discontinued the Linux desktop app in December 2022. Use Edge/Chrome to load teams.microsoft.com as a Progressive Web App — most functionality works including video and screen share.
