I wish our corporation would get rid of the office365. the 2 FPS video presentation streaming is a joke.
Unless you get comfortable using linux, that’s not happening. Microsoft groups so much into the O365 E5 tier that it’s legitimately impossible to get a similar business level feature set for even double the price, mainly because win11 & office (word, excel, etc) make up 85% of that license cost on their own. So in order to have the business momentum required to make a software pivot you’re going to need cost saving elsewhere to force it to make sense, and Microsoft has cornered the “I’m not a techy, just make it work like my computer at my last job” crowd that will never switch an OS because of their familiarity with Windows.
We’re all done with Teams. But billionaires gotta make their bonuses so oh well, who needs to talk to anyone for work anyway, not like several thousand people used slack daily at our workplace or anything.
Maybe during the next wave of layoffs/layoffs-disguised-as-RTO/cuts/“we’re not performing where we can be” will bring in a more useful messenger, like a python script that pipes text into /dev/null.
It doesn’t say what they’re replacing teams with
The linked article only mentions LibreOffice, Open-Xchange and Linux.
The following article mentions Libre Office Writer, Thunderbird, NextCloud as well as a later switch to Linux. That article explicitly says NextCloud will be used for chats, video conferences and file sharing.

This official site mentions LibreOffice, Open-Xchange, NextCloud, cross-platform APIs, VoIP and a switch to Linux. It says that they generally want to use NextCloud for collaboration.

EDIT: TLDR: they switch to NextCloud Talk
They go back to Skype for Business.
Skype is done, RIP Skype
The worst chat app I’ve ever used. Impressively bad
They mentioned a german video conf. solution. I’m quite confident it is opentalk.
NextCloud Talk is also German and in other articles it’s said they want to use NextCloud for collaboration.
Could also be Blizz, in which case I feel sorry for them.
Drop windows and office for linux/freebsd and libreoffice.
The article also says they are switching to Linux, LibreOffice and Open-Xchange.
