Microsoft will sell its chat and video app Teams separately from its Office product globally.
its chat and video app Teams separately from its Office product globally, the US tech giant said on Monday, six months after it unbundled the two products in Europe in a bid to avert a possible EU antitrust fine.
“To ensure clarity for our customers, we are extending the steps we took last year to unbundle Teams from M365 and O365 in the European Economic Area and Switzerland to customers globally,” a Microsoft spokesman said. “Enterprise products are a different beast, and Teams is so embedded into workflows that I don’t think this has that same impact,” said RBC Capital Markets analyst Rishi Jaluria.After Microsoft Teams was unbundled from the Microsoft 365 and Office Suites in Europe in October 2023, the platform has seen the size of its user base remain mostly unchanged, according to Sensor Tower data.
Starting 1 April, customers can either continue with their current licensing deal, renew, update or switch to the new offers.
