Concerns over integration and pricing strategiesThe European Commission’s main issue appears to be with the integration of Teams into Microsoft’s broader Office software suite.Despite Microsoft’s efforts to address these concerns by offering to unbundle Teams from the Office package, EU officials remain unconvinced that these measures go far enough to ensure fair competition.Competitors have raised alarms that Teams is tailored to function more seamlessly with Microsoft’s own software, potentially sidelining other videoconferencing apps.
