Microsoft Teams is Microsoft's chat, meetings and collaboration app. Desktop apps run on Windows 10 (build 19041 or later) and the three most recent macOS versions; mobile apps cover Android and iOS, and Linux uses Teams on the web or as a PWA.

2 min read

Microsoft Teams combines chat, video meetings, calls and shared files in one app. Many workplaces and schools get it with Microsoft 365, and individuals can use it with a personal Microsoft account.

Where you can install Teams

  • Windows: Windows 10 version 10.0.19041 or later. The desktop app does not support any Windows LTSC edition.
  • macOS: one of the three most recent macOS versions.
  • Android and iOS: the Teams app for phones and tablets; Microsoft supports the last four major Android versions and the two most recent major iOS versions.
  • Linux: there is no current native desktop app; Microsoft directs Linux users to Teams on the web or Teams as a progressive web app (PWA).
  • Web: recent versions of Edge, Chrome and Firefox, and Safari on macOS.

Hardware for the desktop app

Microsoft lists a minimum of a dual-core 1.1 GHz processor, 4 GB of RAM and 3 GB of free disk space on Windows (1.5 GB on macOS). For large meetings with ten or more people, Microsoft recommends a four-core processor from 2018 or newer.

Download and sign in

  1. Use the Download button for Microsoft’s official Teams download page, or the store links on this page for mobile.
  2. Install and sign in with your work or school account, or a personal Microsoft account.
  3. For notifications on Windows, make sure notification banners for Teams are turned on in Windows settings.

Free and paid use

Teams can be used for free with a personal Microsoft account, while business features and admin controls come with paid Microsoft 365 or Teams business plans. Protect your account with Microsoft Authenticator. For meetings with people outside your organisation, Zoom Workplace is a common alternative.
