Thank you very much for using Teachme Biz.
We would like to inform you that the Windows Desktop App will be discontinued in early January 2026.
Overview
What is the Windows Desktop App?
This is a Windows-only app that provides only the manual creation and editing functions.
If you are using the “Teachme Biz” app installed on your PC instead of the web browser version used with Chrome or Edge,
that is the Windows Desktop App.
Background of the discontinuation
As of March 2021, development of new features for the Windows Desktop App has ended, and we have been recommending the use of the web browser version.
Many customers have already switched to the web browser version, and with the release of the new capture function on April 14, 2025,
the web browser version alone now provides sufficient editing features, so we have decided to discontinue the Windows Desktop App.
Schedule
- Target: Windows Desktop App
- End date: Early January 2026
- Recommended migration deadline: Please migrate to the web browser version by the end of December 2025.
