    The company says Office 365 suites with Teams will no longer be sold to new business subscribers, but will continue to be available for existing customers that opt to continue using the bundled products, even upon renewal.

    So if your company already has 365 that includes teams, as long as it renews 365 there’s no additional/separate cost for Teams?

      Yeah they’ve rolled it out to everyone, got a defacto monopoly and now they’re increasing the rates for new customers.

      This is just capitalism 101 while pretending it’s for the regulators.

        Perhaps, but my concern is investing time and energy helping customers learn a system and that system becoming financially unsustainable. I welcome change, but my customers don’t. Hearing that it’s only for new customers is a relief.

      This is a big deal for me. I’ve got a MS account for Azure but I use Google suite for email etc. I can’t sign into teams at all with the account that matches my email address because it’s not a 365 account. I end up looking very unprofessional struggling to log into a Teams meeting hosted by a prospective client.

        Do not worry, everyone that uses Teams on a daily basis knows the most professional action is to defenestrate the machine running it.

          Just to the extent that I’ll be able to log in to Teams with my account the same way others can log into Zoom. Because I’m usually already logged into my Microsoft account in my browser I generally have problems.
