Yet when I search for teams in the start menu, I get two entries for "Microsoft Teams (Work or school)". If I click on the one without "new", it'll launch the old one and ask me if I want to go back to the old one or keep using the new one.

I imagine one is an old Start Menu folder shortcut that didn't get cleaned up right? Its still the same install.


See the end of my comment: it launches the old app and asks if I want to switch back, it's not a dead link.

The link points to an executable that dates from the latest update of the old version a few days back. I've only installed the new one today.

I went investigating a bit, and there are two installations, running from different paths.

Actually, the same thing seems to happen with Outlook, if you enable "new outlook".


Weird, I assumed it was just replaced, because my start menu just shows the default Windows one and the new Office installed one.

I think you can uninstall the old one but by default just enabling the preview doesn't uninstall it. Or at least, that's the behavior I've seen on my machine (same as vladvasiliu).


Can confirm, I was able to remove the old one, and the new one still works for the time being (didn't reboot yet).

One fun thing I've just noticed: the "new teams" toggle has gone away.
