Can I still access Classic Microsoft Teams?
You have the option to switch back to the classic version by selecting the ellipsis next to your profile badge and turning off the New Teams toggle. Microsoft will leave this accessible until 31 March 2024. Although you can still use Classic Teams until that date, we recommend that users of Classic Teams transition to the new Teams sooner to take advantage of exclusive features and capabilities.
