Microsoft seeks to settle EU antitrust concerns over Teams -sources

Microsoft  is seeking to address the European Union antitrust concerns about its business practices prompted by a complaint from Salesforce.com's workspace messaging app Slack, people familiar with the matter said.

Microsoft found itself in the European Commission's crosshairs again last year after Slack alleged the U.S. software giant has unfairly integrated its workplace chat and video app Teams into its Office product.

Microsoft introduced Teams in 2017, aiming for a slice of the fast-growing and lucrative workplace collaboration market.

It has made a preliminary offer of concessions to try to lessen the EU competition enforcer's concerns.

Microsoft is also the target of several antitrust complaints related to its cloud computing and over its bundling of OneDrive with Windows.
