Microsoft 365 apps and services will end their support for Internet Explorer 11 on 17 August 2021, the tech giant has confirmed<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The exception to this is Microsoft Teams, which will no longer be supported on the browser from 30 November 2020.<\/p>\n

After this date, users will either have a worse experience when using these apps and services in Internet Explorer or will be unable to connect to them entirely.<\/p>\n

“Customers have been using IE 11 since 2013 when the online environment was much less sophisticated than the landscape today,” explained Microsoft.<\/p>\n

“Since then, open web standards and newer browsers\u2014like the new Microsoft Edge\u2014have enabled better, more innovative online experiences.”<\/p>\n

“While we know this change will be difficult for some customers, we believe that customers will get the most out of Microsoft 365 when using the new Microsoft Edge.”<\/p>\n

Customers’ legacy apps will continue to work<\/h3>\n

Microsoft noted that while its 365 apps and services will no longer be supported on Internet Explorer, the same is not true of its customers’ own legacy apps.<\/p>\n

“Customers have made business-critical investments in IE 11 legacy apps and we respect that those apps are still functioning,” said Microsoft.<\/p>\n

It also highlighted the Internet Explorer mode within Microsoft Edge as an optimal solution for customers who need to use both browsers for different apps.<\/p>\n

“Customers don\u2019t need an awkward workaround of one browser for some apps and another for other apps,” said Microsoft.<\/p>\n

“They can standardize on one browser and seamlessly experience the best of the modern web in one tab while accessing a business-critical legacy IE 11 app in another tab \u2013 all housed within the new Microsoft Edge.”<\/p>\n

Microsoft also announced it is ending support for the legacy Microsoft Edge desktop app on 9 March 2021.<\/p>\n

This means the browser will no longer receive new security updates.<\/p>\n

“Apps and sites created for Microsoft Edge Legacy will continue to work in the new Microsoft Edge, but if a compatibility issue does arise, we have our App Assure promise to provide support,” said Microsoft.<\/p>\n
