And again, update error. The only way I can update is download the newest versions and re-install. So frustrating!
Do you know by chance how's the Electron/Apple Silicon situation at the moment?
Edit: sorry, just saw the post below about M1 support released a few days ago...
Good news is I was just notified that my feature request to use native macOS notifications is in testing now and will be released in early 2021
Teams is running on a many versions behind current Electron version
Office 2019 versions too...
*edit* That's one huge screenshot. That should be better.

Can someone post the version number? I have been on the beta channel using the native apps for a few weeks, just curious if version 16.45 is the official release
What a difference: Microsoft now versus under Ballmer. Night and day difference.
Have a question about something in the article.
“Core Office apps, including Office, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote are now able to run faster on M1 Macs.”
Is there such a thing as a separate Office app?! Or, should we send that sentence to the Committee in Redundancy Committee?

Funny - but I kept a Windows machine around for work purposes, but have completely dropped using MS Office on PC (except for MS Project). I agree Office runs great on MacOS these days. Excel isn't quite as good, but for my limited purposes it runs well enough.
I just finished updating Office to the new version. I opened Outlook, and it came up instantaneously. It's never done that before—no lag when switching folders, nothing.
Kudos, Microsoft!

Now update OneDrive please. This one is bugging me, because it is the last "always active" process in my activity monitor that still says "Intel" 
Yes, there is a separate macOS Microsoft 365 app, basically a bundle of Word, Excel, OneNote, PPT, Outlook and OneDrive. This follows their strategy of a single iOS app. You just open the app and all the formats are there for you to start a new document.
Teams is just a website in a browser.
It's harder to integrate with native features that are so simple to use when you use native code.
OneDrive is, but it is still Intel for now (even for those of us on the Beta channel).
Does anyone run EndNote X9 (Rosetta 2) with Word (M1) by any chance? When I got my Air at launch I tried the beta channel M1 Word app and the EndNote plugin didn't work. I then went back to Intel with Rosetta and it worked. I stopped automatic updates for this reason.
I don't think i can update to the M1 version of Word and then reverse back to Intel if it doesn't work.

I updated my Home 365 account to 16.44, but Outlook looks the same as before...no new look on my end.
