Microsoft (MSFT.O) will sell its chat and video app Teams separately from its Office product globally, the U.S. 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.

What's a better alternative? I was a big fan of Teams back when I worked with an org that used it
How? It can't even handle copy/pasting text without fucking up the formatting.
Creating new SharePoint sites whenever you start a chat so that you have a whole new way to lose your documents?
Better alternative? Pretty much any other chat app.
Slack and Mattermost
Slack is my modern go-to, but I still also use IRC. Slack has great support for technical chat, doesn’t slow my i7 with 32GB RAM to a crawl, has great multiple account support and even voice chat if you are into that. I prefer zoom for video when I need it, but slack’s isn’t nearly as shit as teams.
Honestly? Even Discord, a game chat app. Teams just sucks.
Or matrix. Matrix is great.
Honestly the standard way should be that organizations host their own Matrix server. Then they don't have to pay for enterprise Teams or whatever, and they control their data.
