Stay current with your OS to keep your Microsoft Teams desktop client supported

This post emphasizes the importance of keeping your operating system updated to ensure that your Microsoft Teams desktop client is supported. The article outlines the timelines for unsupported OS versions, providing links to the lifecycle policies and steps for preparation. The Microsoft Teams service adheres to the Modern Lifecycle Policy, which mandates that the Teams desktop client must be under a supported OS version to ensure that users have the latest updates, performance enhancements, security features, and service compatibility. For new Teams, users on unsupported OS versions will receive in-app notifications encouraging them to update their device to a supported OS version, and eventually, a version that is too outdated will become incompatible with the service, causing the Desktop client to be blocked until the operating system is updated. The post provides details on the support dates and lifecycle policies for various operating systems, including Windows and MacOS. The post also details how unsupported OS versions for the Teams desktop client will be affected, starting from October 15th, 2024, with users receiving notifications before ultimately being blocked from using the client. However, users on Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) deployments are excluded from these requirements.
