Previously, admins in the targeted release program were managing their Enhanced Teams Apps for the Microsoft 365 App (formerly known as Office.com) via the Teams Admin Center.

Keep your Microsoft Teams desktop client compliant by updating regularly

Originally posted by Microsoft Dec 2, 2022 Microsoft Teams 0 Comments

Since Microsoft Teams is governed by the Modern Lifecycle Policy, the Teams desktop client needs to be up to date. The Teams client is updated approximately once per month. The client automatically installs updates when they become available to that client. Because we stagger the availability of updates worldwide, some clients in your organization might receive new updates before others.

It’s expected that users remain on the most up-to-date version of the desktop client. Users need to update regularly for users to remain supported on Teams. The regular updates by users ensure that they have the latest capabilities, performance enhancements, security, and service reliability.
