The Microsoft muddle of naming their products continues with the renaming of Microsoft Teams.
Not content to label many different programs as “Outlook”., Microsoft seems to enjoy a jumble of names for their Teams products.
For instance, this new listing of changes between the old Teams app (left) and a new release (right) includes this gem.
In other words …
- The old app is called “Microsoft Teams classic” (that’s what Microsoft says, in fact the old app is still just labelled “Microsoft Teams”).
- But in Windows 11 the pre-installed Teams was called “Microsoft Teams classic (work or school)”
Now the new Teams app is called (drum-roll🥁🎵) Microsoft Teams!
(Please try to contain your excitement)
It would be nice if Microsoft fixed a lot of their Teams “help” to make it clear what features are only available in the paid plans vs the free Teams that everyone gets.
