The Microsoft Store will soon be offering Microsoft Teams for PC users to download. The popular communication app will still be available on its official website but now, they have an alternative way to download it.
As Microsoft’s official digital distribution platform, the Microsoft Store offers a wide variety of programs and apps that you can purchase and download without having to open up a browser. This, of course, includes the brand’s flagship programs like the Office 365 suite—although interestingly enough, Microsoft Teams had been exempted from this.
The upcoming update now ensures that Teams will be a downloadable software right from the Microsoft Store’s interface. This goal was recently added to the Microsoft 365 public roadmap, with the Teams version that will be available from the store will support work, school, and personal accounts on Windows 10, and work and school accounts on Windows 11.
The lack of support for personal accounts on Windows 11 is due to the existence of the Chat app on the operating system. Chat is a built-in lightweight version of Microsoft Teams on Windows 11 that allows personal account users to quickly start a video call or chat. Windows 10 has no such built-in Teams capabilities, so the upcoming Microsoft Store update will be for their benefit.
You can expect this update to be available for the public around May 2022 for the desktop and web platforms. While it doesn’t seem like a major improvement for both applications, it still promotes user-friendliness and other ways to get Teams on your PC. This is all the more promising with Teams’ new feature of allowing Bluetooth headsets to control calls directly with their device buttons.
