Hi
Yes I have planned to update the app for the new version of Teams.
Are using the Teams-App from the Microsoft store?

Best regards

No.
I use the desktop app and a few months ago, a new button appears in the top left corner to try the new version. I tryed it but I came back to the current one because I prefer two separate instances.

I see, so if I understand you correctly, when you try to use my app with the new teams enabled, it will not open a new instance?

Can you check if you have a Teams-Folder in "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps", the folder should be called something like "MicrosoftTeams_23231.411.2342.9597_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe".

There are two ways to check for this folder, the first one is to run the following command with Powershell as an Admin:
Get-ChildItem -Path 'C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\MicrosoftTeams*\*'
You should then see a list of files in your Powershell-Terminal.

Or if you have Teams open, you can open the directory in the task-manager:

Yes! that's it. With the new teams button enabled your arpp doesn't opens a new instance.

Yes, you are rigth, with the new version enabled i can see this folder:

C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\MSTeams_23247.1108.2370.286_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe

It seems is the version from windows store, right?

Ok, thank you for the update.

That is good, I think the new Version of Teams is a UWP-App, while the previous one was an Electron-App.
So all the data is stored in this new folder "MSTeams_23247.1108.2370.286_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe".

Now I have just two last questions:

1. If you deactivate "Try the new Teams", is my app working again?
2. Do you have the Folder "C:\Users<YOUR_USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Teams" and inside there the "Update.exe"?

Best regards

Yes, if deactivate works again perfectly. Right now i'm using it.

And yes, there is an Update.exe in this path

Thank you for your response.

I will update the app as soon as possible to make it work with the older and newer version of Teams.
As soon as I have tested the changes successfully, I let you know.

Best regards

Hi, any chance for progress?

[Pat992]

Hi there,

it might be possible to start multiple instances with the New-PSSession,
for that the lib/bloc/process/process_bloc.dart would need to be updated.

Sadly I don't use Microsoft Teams and Windows anymore, if anyone is interested in fixing this, feel free to create a pull request.
