Changes are coming to the Minimum Supported Browsers

Originally posted by Microsoft Feb 22, 2023 Uncategorized 0 Comments

In February-2023, Microsoft began notifying customers that starting in July 2023, Office for the web users using some unsupported browsers will no longer be able to connect to the Microsoft 365 web applications mentioned in the Products section of this communication.  

How this will affect your organization:

Microsoft recommends customers plan ahead to ensure all devices in their organization are using a M365 supported browser, and that browsers have been updated to the latest version. Microsoft 365 supported browsers are documented here:

• Microsoft 365 Supported Browsers: Which browsers work with Microsoft 365 for the web and Microsoft 365 Add-ins
• Microsoft Teams Supported Browsers: Get clients for Microsoft Teams
• Outlook for the web Supported Browsers: Supported browsers for Outlook on the web and Outlook.com 

Microsoft recommends using a software inventory & management tool (i.e. System Center) to identify the browsers that are installed in your organization along with browser versions, and to ensure all devices have been upgraded to the latest version of a supported browser.

What you need to do to prepare:

Before this change takes effect, please ensure that all devices within your organization which use the Microsoft 365 web applications mentioned in the Products section of this communication, have been updated to a supported version of a supported browser.  

See the supported browsers links mentioned above.

Over time, and as Microsoft releases new features for the Office web apps, customers will need to use supported versions of supported browsers. Starting July-2023, it is more likely that customers using unsupported browsers, or unsupported versions of supported browsers will have a degraded experience or be unable to connect to the Microsoft 365 web apps mentioned in the products affected section.
