Microsoft today announced the debut of a native Microsoft Teams app that's been optimized for Apple silicon Macs, with the app coming after several months of development.

Microsoft Teams is a business communication platform that's similar to Slack, offering text-based chat, video conferencing, file storage, app integration, and more. The native version of the app will bring a "significant boost in performance" for a more efficient use of device resources and an optimized Teams experience during calls and meetings.
At Microsoft, we are committed to delivering great product experiences that help our customers work easier and faster on their favorite devices. We heard from our customers who use Mac with Apple silicon that they want Teams to be optimized for their devices. We are rolling out a production grade universal binary version of Teams, which means it will run natively on the entire Mac lineup, including those with Apple silicon.

Microsoft says that all Mac users will be automatically upgraded with the most recent update to Teams, and the generally available version of the native Teams app on Apple silicon Macs will be rolled out to customers in increments over the coming months.

Can anyone interpret these vague sentences to help us understand when/how we can expect to get this?

"All Mac users will be automatically upgraded with their most recent update to Teams. The generally available (GA) version of the native Teams app on Mac with Apple silicon is being rolled out to customers in increments over the coming months."

Companies use Teams because it comes along with Office. No one would ever compare Teams against Slack and decide to use Teams.

Exactly… our company 100% did this. Slack worked much better, but they didn’t want to pay for it when we got Teams for free. Teams has been a dumpster fire for most of us, but it’s a free dumpster fire so it’s what we have to use now.

Such as myself. For internal use, Teams is mandatory, and I still have to use (mostly for external use) Slack, Zoom, Skype, Whatsapp (text and video), Telegram, Signal and (from time to time) Webex. It's just absurd.

You'll get it when they feel like offering it via Office Update.. otherwise, just grab the latest here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ItzLevvie/MicrosoftTeams-msinternal/master/defconfig

They've had M1 builds for months.. just visit this and grab whichever "release" you're looking for.

(for some stupid reason, the one @ microsoft.com is still Intel).

Looks like it may be the Preview build (20352, which I've been running for a bit and seems fine) and not yet 'Production'. I checked for update in the Teams app and Microsoft Auto Update and I'm still on 20352.

Seems build numbers are way behind, production still says osx-arm64 though? A bit confused as to which build I should try and grab!
