No, Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom, made a new teams, which they called "New Teams" to differentiate it from the old teams, known as "Teams." the old teams was installed newer so its the new old teams, whereas the new teams is old.

Hope this helps!

From the geniuses who brought you the XBox One, not to be confused with the XBox that came first. And the XBox Series X, not to be confused with the XBox One X.

When Apple had the iPhone X instead of the 10, it was a little weird but if made sense at least. And they didn’t go X > 10, but 9 > X > 11. I still don’t know what the Xbox was trying to do with the Series X, but I’m not sure they did either. And why “series”, what is that supposed to even mean?!

Don't forget about the second xbox, the xbox 360. The xbox one is the third xbox.

They didn’t just…update Teams? That’s insanity, but I also just fought with bluetooth drivers on Thursday on my PC and it was a fucking disaster mess shitshow. My favourite part was knowing that the control panel is still there and functional even though there’s “settings” now, which does essentially the same stuff but also it’s different and also if you’re a new user or not paying attention you might not even know the control panel exists.

Not only is it bad to start but they seem intent on making it worse with every update.

The older variant of Teams was delivered with Office and is an Electron app, the newer variant was delivered as part of Windows 11 and uses a shared Edge view (basically Electron but Edge-based and memory-shared)...

I think there are also feature differences, as in: The newer version has fewer features.

Incredible move. Who the hell makes these decisions?!

I love when I dig for a setting in settings, and it opens a control panel window.
