It seems like you’ll have to stick with the emulated version for now, if your team uses Teams. Meanwhile, Microsoft’s main communications competitor, Slack, has native support available in a public beta. Microsoft promises they’re working on that platform in their blog post, but the company hasn’t announced any sort of timeline. If you’re a heavy user of Teams, you may be disappointed to hear that it hasn’t been included in today’s rollout of updates. The updates are making the apps universal ones - meaning these versions will run on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs, so any upcoming updates or features will be coming at the same time for both platforms. The apps getting the updates are Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and OneNote. If you’ve been using Microsoft Office on an M1 Mac, it’s about to get better - Microsoft is announcing an update today that brings native support for Apple’s new custom chip architecture to the Windows productivity suite.
