Your Vercel personal account will soon automatically become a free team.

**What is changing?**

- Your personal projects will live under a new free team with the slug `{username}s-projects`.
- Future auto-generated deployment URLs will end with `{username}s-projects.vercel.app`.
- Your original username remains unchanged and can be viewed [in your account settings](/account).
- Existing deployments will not be affected.

*Your free Vercel experience will remain unchanged.* Upgrading and downgrading will now be easier, as they will no longer require transferring projects.

**When will my account be updated?**

We'll start rolling out this change today and it might take some time before it's your turn. Once it's your turn, in most cases, update should happen instantly.

For a small number of accounts with thousands of projects or deployments, you may temporarily see a message displayed on the dashboard. During this update period, you will have read access to your personal account projects and resources, but not write access.

**Who can I contact if something seems off?**

Please [contact us](/help) using the “Account Management” case type if you have questions about this change or notice something wrong with your account.
