Microsoft Teams will soon organize app suggestions by tasks that the apps support, reducing the time users need to spend learning about these apps. The rollout will begin in early April 2024 for standard users and is expected to be complete by early May 2024. No action is required at this time.
Updated February 16, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.
Users think about which tasks they need to complete, such as creating a survey, inside Microsoft Teams. Soon, app suggestions will be organized by tasks that the apps support as opposed to conventional categories (productivity, project management). As a result, the new categorization will reduce the amount of time users need to spend learning about these apps – helping them to work more effectively.
