Office 365 Universal package or compatible to M1

[CSD]

Hi,
We have some multiple issues with M1 chipset some how listing as below
1. Do not see Office 365 suite in Self Service (We have policy though which pushes install rosetta2 at start) the same works fine on Intel chipsets, any idea if we have a universal software O365 package?

2.We also have a policy to allow full disk and screen sharing on for Team Viewer software for remote access it doesn't applies on M1 Chipset

Hi @CSD ,
which O365 suite do you use at the moment? We use the latest package from here: https://macadmins.software/
16.47.21031401 64-bit Universal 2. The latest packages are all universal binaries so you don't need Rosseta2 for them.
I tested this on a Macbook Pro with M1 and it installed fine.

I recommend this for deploying 0365 apps https://gist.github.com/talkingmoose/a16ca849416ce5ce89316bacd75fc91a

Not all the apps in the Business Pro and possibly other bundles are UB.

OneDrive and Teams are still I'ntel only as even though these are included as part of the installer it's not the same dev team at MS that develop them that develop Mac office. Also the OneDrive version is really old and does not run very well on M1 until updated via MAU. I have complained twice to MS why they continue to bundle old OneDrive in the Office releases. I have been told from 16.48 due today OneDrive will be a newer version.

@MatG Thanks for the info. I was not aware that MS Teams and OneDrive require Rosetta 2. Thought that Teams as an Electron app runs native on Apple Silicon. I just tested the latest Bundle Office 365 Business Pro 16.48 on a Macbook Pro with an M1 Chip.
If you try to run Teams or OneDrive you will be prompted to install Rosetta 2. So no update here.
