  • Microsoft Teams stops working with Internet Explorer 11

    Microsoft Teams, a videoconferencing and communication service, will stop working on Internet Explorer 11 as of this Tuesday, December 1st. The end of browser support is part of Microsoft’s plan to shut down the old browser, which is already being replaced by Edge.

    Starting in December, Internet Explorer users will no longer be able to access the chat or enter Teams calls. Ending conference service support is just the first step towards closing other Microsoft tools in the browser.

    As of August 17, 2021, all other applications and services in the Microsoft 365 package will also stop working with Internet Explorer. Before that, in March 2021, the company will also close the old version of Edge.

    The company’s goal is to centralize all users in the revamped edition of Microsoft Edge. The browser is based on Chromium, which guarantees speed in use, and has a compatibility mode for old sites, which makes using Internet Explorer unnecessary.

    Microsoft recently started a move to start migrating Internet Explorer users to the new browser. Now, certain sites do not open in the old browser and bring an automatic redirect to Edge, which is already pre-installed in the latest editions of Windows 10.

  • Toothless Kerala Blasters will need time to settle in

    Kerala Blasters had 69.3 per cent possession of the ball in the first half against ATK Mohun Bagan in the Indian Super League (ISL) season opener on Friday. Compared to figures from the 2019-20 season, that is the highest figure by any ISL team. However, after 90 minutes, Blasters were on the losing side. 

    ATK Mohun Bagan looked more like ATK than Mohun Bagan in their first ISL match as Antonio Habas set them up to nullify the Blasters threat – and they did it really well.

    Blasters started on the front foot. They worked the ball around really well and took control of the game early on. Their opponents were nonplussed for a bit in the first half as Vicente Gomez and Sergio Cidoncha took control of the midfield and picked out forward passes with ease. But once the possession entered the final third, there was no connection to new signing Gary Hooper who was left isolated up front right up until he was substituted in the second half. Sahal Abdul Samad, who had a free role behind Hooper, couldn’t facilitate the kind of transition that Kibu Vicuna wanted in his setup. The 23-year-old’s night went from bad to worse when he missed the easiest chance of the match from five yards in front of goal.
