How to update Microsoft Teams manually
The Microsoft Teams desktop app automatically updates itself to the latest version. So, you don’t have to do anything special. However, if you want, you can still check for available updates manually, here’s how!
- Launch Microsoft Teams.
- Go to Settings and more.
- Choose Settings.
- Click the About Teams option.
- Check if any new update is available.
- If yes, install it.
To update the Teams mobile app, just download and install it again from the iOS App Store or Google Play Store.
If you already have Microsoft Teams installed on your Windows Desktop PC or laptop, click the Show hidden icons button on the Taskbar, then select the Microsoft Teams app.
Click the Settings and more icon in the upper-right corner, represented by three horizontal dots.
Next, select the Settings option from the list of options displayed.
Now, choose the About Teams option visible under the Settings panel at the bottom of the screen.
Check if any new update is available. If yes, download the latest version of the app. If you already have the latest version installed, you’ll see a notification that reads – You’ve got the latest version. It was last updated …..
You’ll also see the No updates button grayed out.
NOTE:
- Teams (Microsoft Store version) has to be updated through the Store.
- Organization-managed Teams – Updates may be controlled by your IT administrator, so manual updates might not be available.
That’s all there is to it. Hope it helps!
