Thank you for your continued use of Teachme Biz.
We would like to inform you of the discontinuation of the Windows Desktop App.
Overview
What is the Windows Desktop App?
It is a Windows-only app that provides only the manual creation and editing functionality.
Rather than the web browser version used via Chrome or Edge, if an app called "Teachme Biz" is installed on your PC, that is the Windows Desktop App.
Background of the Discontinuation
As of March 2021, development of new features for the Windows Desktop App was ended, and we have since recommended using the web browser version.
While many customers had already switched to the web browser version, we released a new capture feature on April 14, 2025,
enabling the web browser version alone to provide sufficient editing functionality. As a result, the Windows Desktop App has been discontinued.
Schedule
- Target: Windows Desktop App
- End date: February 13, 2026
- Recommended migration deadline: Please migrate to the web browser version by the end of December 2025
