Key notes

ARM64devices such as Surface Pro X have become ever more popular amongMicrosoft‘s userbase, and to that extent, Better compatibility for current apps needed to be implemented.

One good example would be that ofMicrosoftTeams,Microsoft‘sdedicated collaborative tool.

Microsoft Teams will get dedicate ARM device support

While users could useMicrosoftTeams on theirARMdevices until now, it was generally plagued with various performance issues, not to mention that you were forced to connect viaa Win32 emulation or by using the web app.

However, a recent post fromMicrosoftrevealed that this will soon be a thing of the past.

AMicrosoftrepresentative revealed via a post from theUserVoice forumthat a version ofMicrosoftTeams forARM64is currently in active development:

We are excited to announce that we are currently working on making a nativeARM64version of Teams. We will share an update as soon as one is available.

Unfortunately, that’s pretty much all they had to say about the matter, as they didn’t provide users with a schedule or at least a roadmap.

This leaves the date of launch for the newMicrosoftTeams up to speculation, to the user’s dismay:

Can you tease us with any timescales?

However, ever since theARM64framework has been recompiled for Windows, this is the first piece of solid news regarding any updates that would come toMicrosoftTeams.

Users have been quick to respond to the post, and the feedback was indeed quite positive:

I tried the emulated version and could see the lag when scrolling. The web version working on Edge Chromium has no problems. Please release the Native build of MS Teams forARM64.

That being said, even if we have no exact idea when will we be finally able to run Teams onARM64devices natively, at least we now know that it’s just a matter of time.
