Why Check for Updates in Teams?
Microsoft is consistently releasing new updates to Teams, and those updates may not always be announced
Periodically checking for updates will ensure you have the most up to date Teams experience
This will only apply to the installed version of Teams, not the web application
To download the desktop version for free,
visit the Microsoft Teams download site here
To download
the entire Microsoft Office suite for free as part of your WesternU account, visit go.westernu.edu and select "Install Office"
How to Check for Updates
Access your updates in Teams
Open the installed version of Microsoft Teams
Click on your profile, then select "Check for Updates"
You will see a status in the center of your Teams screen that states "We will check and install any updates while you continue to work."
Once this message has disappeared, you will now need to close Teams completely and re-open it to see changes or updates
Properly Closing Teams to Complete Updates
Rather than closing Teams by selecting the "X" in the upper right corner, you will need to "Quit" Teams completely
To close Teams completely, right click on the Teams icon in your menu bar, and select "Quit"
Additional Information
