Stop trying to make Teams happen. It isn’t going to happen.
There’s already way better solutions out there, and Microsoft keeps making their dogshit service even worse.
Decoupling it like this is the first step to it being wound down and then shut down.
as a consumer product, yeah. but teams is ubiquitous in business and govt.
Seems weird to be honest. I would agree on removing personal Teams from new Windows installations, but if you are locked in Microsoft 365 environment it is very unlikely you will not use Teams due to how well it integrates with whole ecosystem.
It’s almost as asking to unbundle Outlook because Thunderbird exists.
Maybe a solution like on Android where users are given a choice of a few app on first setup?
What other client choices are out there that let you directly access SharePoint files or Microsoft Planner directly in a team chat?
Probably none because it is a closed ecosystem.
It was a rhetorical question because you were suggesting a choice should be offered.
