Microsoft Makes Bold Move: Excludes Teams from Office 365 in Europe, Aims to Satisfy Regulators

Antitrust Probe Spurs Microsoft's Decision to Unbundle Teams in European Markets, Offering More Choices to Businesses

Existing subscribers will retain their current arrangements, allowing them to continue using Teams as part of their 365 package or opt for the more cost-effective version without Teams, if they prefer.

Notably, Microsoft will continue to bundle Teams with Microsoft 365 business plans for small businesses, even for new subscribers. However, these customers will also have the option to exclude Teams from their package, resulting in a €1 per month saving for Business Basic tiers and a €2 saving for Business Standard and Premium plans.
