Two years after Apple announced it was moving from Intel to Apple Silicon for Mac, Microsoft Teams is finally being updated to run on these Macs. The company announced the release on its blog, stating that it is “committed to innovation and committed to the Mac.”

Somewhat shockingly, even two years late, Microsoft says this update will be rolled out to customers “in installments” in the coming months. So even if you have Microsoft Teams running on an Apple Silicon Mac, you won’t necessarily get this update anytime soon.

However, once the update hits your Microsoft Teams app, the company says you can expect “significant performance improvements” as well as efficiency gains. Microsoft wrote the following in a blog post published today:

We’re releasing a production-grade universal binary version of Teams, which means it will run natively on the entire Mac lineup, including Apple Silicon processors. For Mac users, this means significant performance improvements, efficient use of device resources, and an optimized Teams experience, even when using multiple high-resolution monitors during calls or meetings.

Microsoft is committed to innovation and is committed to the Mac, which is why we’re excited to bring this to our Mac users. All Mac users will be automatically updated to the latest version of Teams. The public (GA) version of the native Teams app for Mac with Apple Silicon processor is being gradually rolled out to customers over the coming months.

Back in April, Microsoft began beta testing a version of Teams optimized for Apple Silicon. As a reminder, Macs based on Apple Silicon can run three different types of applications:

iPhone and iPad apps on Mac via Mac App Store Apps powered by Rosetta 2 translation, which allows users to run apps built for Intel Mac computers on Apple Silicon, with apps sometimes running better in Rosetta with M1 than with Intel, Apple says universal apps are apps built for Apple Silicon and Intel processors that can be downloaded from the Mac App Store or the web.

When this new version of Microsoft Teams becomes fully available, it will become a “generic” binary, meaning the same version can natively run on Apple Silicon Macs as well as Intel machines. You may just have to wait a few months for it to arrive on your devices.
