explanation for non-techies**
Explanation:
Microsoft Teams is making the top of the screen for personal apps simpler and less cluttered. They are moving some options, like the "About" tab and other utility actions, into a three-dot menu. This change will start in mid-July 2024 and finish by late August 2024. You don't need to do anything; it will happen automatically.
Analogy:
Think of it like cleaning up your desk. Right now, you have a lot of things scattered on topâpens, papers, and gadgets. It looks messy and can be hard to find what you need. Microsoft Teams is like a desk organizer that helps you put some of those items into drawers (the three-dot menu), making your desk (the top of the screen) look cleaner and easier to use.
