Discover the Latest Enhancements in Shared Device Mode (SDM)
We are excited to announce a series of new features in Shared Device Mode that will significantly enhance the experience for frontline workers. These updates are designed to streamline access to Teams on a shared device and provide better access to essential tools.
Teams FRE is suppressed for devices in shared device mode
One of the most significant changes is that we no longer show the Teams First Run Experience (FRE) on Android and iOS when the device is in Shared Device Mode. This update will reduce the number of clicks frontline workers need to take to get started in Teams. Thus, allowing FLWs to focus on getting work done. To take advantage of this update your Teams version to 2024152402 on Android and 2024121301 on iOS.
