My workplace unfortunately uses Microsoft Teams and last week I got a modal popup which said "Your organization is switching to the new Teams." with a singular button "Switch to the new Teams".
No close button, no maybe-later button, and I needed to get into a fucking meeting.
I quickly tried to remove the popup via browser tools, but it wouldn't easily budge.
I saw in the background that there was a toggle for switching, so I bit the bullet and clicked that button, hoping it would still work afterwards and if not, that there would be a toggle to switch back.
It changed to a loading screen, then refreshed, and I was presented with said new Teams.
What is new Teams? I still have no clue. They applied some slightly different CSS styling, otherwise it seems to be exactly the same.
They're in a lawsuit with slack about monopoly. They can't sell it bundled with 365 in the EU anymore, and they appear to be planning to separate it Globally. That's the most generous reading, but Microsoft forces annoying changes all the time, so it may just be Microsoft being Microsoft. Also new teams installs very differently than teams, especially if using virtual desktops with either nonpersistent machines and/or using FSLogix, which is irritating from a support perspective. Imagine having to reinstall teams every time you reboot (there are ways around it, but we had to track them down unexpectedly and our client wasn't happy).
