The moment has finally arrived. Microsoft Teams is now officially available for download in the Microsoft Store on Windows 10 and Windows 11, as shared by Microsoft Group Program Manager Mik Chernomordikov on Twitter (via Thurrott.com.)

This availability comes several weeks after Microsoft first launched the app in the store with a listing in the Microsoft 365 roadmap. However, if you want to use this retail version of the app, it’s important to note that it only supports work and school accounts on Windows 11. On Windows 10, however, the app supports all accounts, including consumer accounts.
If you expect the Store version of Teams to work differently than the version you can download from Microsoft’s website, make no mistake. In our tests on Windows 11, the application is the same as the one Microsoft offers for manual download, up to the version number (1.5.00.11163.) Also, for us, installing this Store version on Windows 11 Seems to update and replace our previous Teams for work and school installations that we previously had on the Microsoft website.
As we’ve said before, it’s more about making it easier to download Teams, so you can skip the trip to Microsoft’s website. Now that Teams is in the Microsoft Store, it joins Microsoft’s other apps such as Visual Studio, Microsoft Edge, Office suite, and PowerToys. Not to mention great third-party apps like Discord, VLC Player, and Zoom.
