Microsoft Teams is replacing its free app with another free app, but you won’t be able to transfer your data unless you get a paid plan.
Microsoft is retiring the free version of its video conferencing app and introducing a new free app, but you won’t be able to transfer your data over unless you upgrade to a paid plan.
The company has confirmed that from April 12 2023, ‘Microsoft Teams Free (classic)’ will no longer be available, suggesting that users instead upgrade to ‘Teams Essentials’ for $4/£3 per user per month.
In its place, customers will be confusingly able to sign up for the legacy free app’s replacement, ‘Teams (free)’.
