MC898391Microsoft Teams: Performance improvements for meetings in Edge web browser for guests

Updated June 13, 2025: We have updated the timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Anonymous users (guests) who join Microsoft Teams meetings in the Microsoft Edge for Business web browser will soon experience performance improvements. They will be able to join meetings faster.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 401117.

When this will happen:

Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out early November 2024 and expect to complete by mid-November 2024.

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out mid-November 2024 and expect to complete by late-November 2024.

General Availability (GCC, GCC High, and DoD): We will begin rolling out early January 2025 and expect to complete by late June 2025 (previously late May).

How this will affect your organization:

Before this rollout, anonymous users (guests) may experience longer wait times when attempting to join a Teams meeting.

After this rollout, anonymous users (guests) will be able to join meetings faster, even on low-end devices.

What you need to do to prepare:

This rollout will happen automatically with no admin action required.
