Change to Microsoft Teams Free Version Means Downgraded Functionality

Change to Microsoft Teams Free Version Means Downgraded Functionality
On April 12, 2023, Microsoft will retire the original version of Teams free introduced in 2018. If you want to stay using a free version, Microsoft has Teams for Home.

In this kind of situation, it might just be time to bite the bullet and pay for Teams.
