Q: Can I access Alloy in Incognito Mode?
A:
Yes, you can access Alloy in Incognito Mode, but there are some limitations:
The app may load slowly or appear unresponsive initially.
Incognito Mode does not store cookies or cache, which Alloy uses to enable the new UI and improve load times.
You may need to sign in each time you open the app.
We recommend avoiding Incognito Mode unless required for troubleshooting or testing purposes.
Q: Why is Alloy slower in Incognito Mode?
A:
Incognito Mode prevents browsers from storing session data, cookies, or cached content. Alloy relies on this stored data to:
Load the new UI efficiently
Maintain session continuity
Reduce reload and sign-in times
Without this data, each session starts fresh, leading to slower performance.
Q: What is the recommended way to access Alloy?
A:
For the best user experience and performance:
Use the Microsoft Teams Desktop App or
Access Alloy through your regular browser session (not Incognito).
