"New Teams" vs "Teams Classic" #156

Closed teknowledgist closed 7 months ago

teknowledgist commented 9 months ago

Hi. Just an FYI in case you aren't aware that the microsoft-teams package is installing "Microsoft Teams classic" as MS has renamed it, and there is a replacement product coming.

Teams has always been a PITA for sysadmins, so MS had to go make it worse. :-( In case you will be taking on the job of building/maintaining a package for "New Teams", there is information on install here.

Thanks for the good work you do for the community and good luck!

Thanks for the heads up. I had started to look at how the new version is distributed. Will be an interesting one!

I've updated the package names for the 'classic' packages and I've created https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/microsoft-teams-new-bootstrapper to run the current bootstrapper.

Sounds like in the near future there will be a self-contained bootstrapper which sounds closer to the existing packages. I may add another package to cater for that, depending on what it looks like.
