Microsoft 365 wouldn’t support Internet Explorer 11 in the future and Windows 10 also remove support for Microsoft Edge Legacy. On August 17, 2020, Microsoft announces that Microsoft 365 apps and services will no longer support Internet Explorer 11 (IE 11) by this time next year.
It means:
- Beginning November 30, 2020, the Microsoft Teams web app will no longer support IE 11.
- Beginning August 17, 2021, the remaining Microsoft 365 apps and services will no longer support IE 11.
This also means that after the above dates, customers will have a degraded experience or will be unable to connect to Microsoft 365 apps and services on IE 11. To compensate for this change, Customers can choose the new Microsoft Edge browsers. The Microsoft Edge is fully supported with Microsoft Teams web apps and Microsoft 365 apps.
“Customers have been using IE 11 since 2013 when the online environment was much less sophisticated than the landscape today. Since then, open web standards and newer browsers—like the new Microsoft Edge—have enabled better, more innovative online experiences. We believe that Microsoft 365 subscribers, in both consumer and commercial contexts, will be well served with this change through faster and more responsive web access to greater sets of features in everyday toolsets like Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, and more.” as per the Blog from Microsoft Tech Community outlined.
