European Union requirements to unbundle Microsoft Teams from Office 365 will be implemented globally, giving users the option to remove Teams from licenses or buy it as a standalone product.

For those not keen on Microsoft Teams , help is in hand – European Union requirements to unbundle the software from Office 365 will be implemented globally. Last year for those in the European Union and Switzerland, on April 1 Microsoft made the same arrangement available everywhere – no joke. "To that end, we are now updating the way Microsoft 365, Office 365 , and Teams are licensed outside of Europe in keeping with the recent changes in the EEA.

Starting today, we are introducing 1) a new lineup of commercial Microsoft 365 and Office 365 suites that do not include Teams in regions outside the EEA and Switzerland, and 2) a new standalone Teams offering for Enterprise customers in those regions." The move leaves users with the option to carry on as normal, remove Teams from licenses and enjoy a small discount, or buy it as a standalone product. That appears to be good news for Slack, Zoom, and others that are looking to lure Microsoft customers to their own collaboration apps
