Download the latest Teams Preview Client
Does a machine-wide Teams client (MSI) exist for public preview or is it limited to the individual EXE? The latest MSI installer I can find is 28779, but I want to test features from December. ...
drbenak I have something which might be of interest to you in finding the latest client versions (Windows and Apple) for Teams.
I use this website alot : Microsoft Teams | WhatPulse
And it tells me the latest clients being used in the wild.
I can also manage to download the latest version of Teams Client myself using a known URL and then changing part of the URL to match the latest version of Teams mentioned on the website I provided in this post too.
Here is the URL I found for the Teams clients :
url 32bit = 'https://statics.teams.cdn.office.net/production-windows/1.3.00.34662/Teams_windows.exe'
url 64bit = 'https://statics.teams.cdn.office.net/production-windows-x64/1.3.00.34662/Teams_windows_x64.exe'
All you need to do is change the version number in the URL to match the latest version that the website "Whatpulse" has found in the wild and then you can copy and paste the URL in to your browser and press Enter. Then the download of Teams starts and you can install it.
Hope this helps you in some way 😉
- This method still works the best. I am hoping this changes with the "imminent release" of Teams 2.0 for Work & School accounts.
I stopped finding version numbers on WhatPulse because there are different build types and it's not the very latest version of Teams. There's a website where you can download them and it's much newer than the ones in WhatPulse.
- https://github.com/ItzLevvie/MicrosoftTeams-msinternal/blob/master/defconfig has latest builds for the classic Teams (1.0).
- https://github.com/ItzLevvie/MicrosoftTeams-msinternal/blob/master/defconfig2 has latest builds for the new Teams (2.0 and 2.1).
For example: The latest version for Teams on WhatPulse is currently at 1.6.00.6754 but the website hosted on GitHub has a newer version which is currently at 1.6.00.7762
- Successfully downloaded and installed Teams 2.1 (work & school preview) BUT it shows a message that says "You're here early and we aren't ready for you yet". This latest version (.msix) must be tied to some Tenant settings behind the scenes.
