The European Union accused Microsoft of breaching antitrust regulations by tying its Teams messaging and videoconferencing app to its business software, such as Office 365 and Microsoft 365. The EU's preliminary view suggests that Microsoft restricted competition by not offering a choice to customers on whether to include Teams with the software purchase, possibly giving Teams a distribution advantage over competitors. Microsoft made changes last year to address concerns, but the EU stated more actions are needed to restore competition. The company now has a chance to respond before the EU makes a final decision, which could result in a fine or required remedies.
