The European Union (EU) is investigating Microsoft's practice of bundling Teams with Office 365 and Microsoft 365.

The Commission is concerned about the potential distribution advantage of Teams and its limited interoperability with competing offerings.

Microsoft has acknowledged the European Commission's action and expressed its willingness to cooperate.
