While Microsoft hasn\u2019t officially announced it yet, a downloadable version of Microsoft Teams<\/a> that is optimized for Apple Silicon-powered Macs<\/strong> is currently available on the company\u2019s website. It still seems to be in its beta phase<\/strong> so expect some bugs when you test it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the nature of Apple devices, numerous apps and programs aren\u2019t always supported by the macOS platform. Even when your Mac has an Intel processor<\/strong> and can run some software with Apple\u2019s Rosetta 2 translation<\/strong> technology, the software\u2019s performance isn\u2019t always the best. This new Teams version, however, bodes well for the future of Apple and Microsoft\u2019s relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple Silicon<\/strong> is a series of system processors that most modern Apple devices and products use. It had replaced Intel processors since 2020 and when on a Mac, it can typically run three types of applications<\/strong>: iPhone and iPad apps through the Mac App Store<\/a>, apps designed for Intel Macs that can run through the Rosetta 2 translation, and \u201cuniversal\u201d apps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before this, Microsoft Teams was under the second type as it didn\u2019t support Apple Silicon. Recently, however, a file for a version of Teams optimized for this processor was discovered on Microsoft\u2019s official website and can be downloaded by anyone<\/strong>. Teams has now become a \u201cuniversal\u201d app<\/strong> and is reported to be running much better on Apple Silicon Macs than before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although, since there\u2019s no announcement just yet, this means that the popular communication app is still in beta and users will be encountering other performance issues<\/strong>. Hopefully, it\u2019ll finally be given a public release sometime soon. After all, Microsoft Teams will soon be available on the Microsoft Store<\/a> for Windows so it may someday be offered on the Mac App Store, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
