Microsoft to decouple Teams from its Office suite on a global level - report
) plans to begin offering its chat and video app, Teams, as a standalone product, separating it from its Office suite on a global scale, Reuters reported on Monday.
To address these concerns, Microsoft started selling Teams and Office as separate entities in the EU and Switzerland in August of the previous year. Expanding this strategy globally, the company revealed in a blog post the launch of new Microsoft 365 and Office 365 commercial suites that exclude Teams for regions outside the EEA and Switzerland, alongside a standalone Teams option for Enterprise customers.
Despite these changes, Microsoft might still face EU antitrust charges in the near future, as rivals continue to challenge the pricing and interoperability of their services with Office Web Applications, according to the report.
