Microsoft Teams typically updates automatically, but you can also manually check for and install updates. Here's how:
Automatic Updates
Teams is designed to update itself without requiring manual intervention. Here's what you need to know:
- Idle Updates: Teams auto-updates when an update is available and the app is idle. So, just keep Teams open and it will update itself when you aren't actively using it.
Manual Updates
If you prefer not to wait for the automatic update, you can manually check for updates:
- Update Notification: When an update is available in the Teams desktop app, a banner will appear at the top of your Teams window. You can choose to update at that time.
- Check for Updates: Even if you don't see the banner, you can check for updates by selecting "Check for updates" in the setting menu of Teams.
In summary, Microsoft Teams is designed to automatically update itself when the app is idle. However, users also have the option to manually initiate the update process via a notification at the top of the Teams window when an update is available.
