They are in a tough space by their own making because they keep refusing what the market has been telling them for decades. They need to SEPARATE their consumer making business from their Corporate business.

For example

Lync was separate from Skype... Business and Consumer

Then they got rid of Lync in favor of Skype for business... Bad

Then comes Teams, designed from the Ground up for Corporate. Dropping Skype for Business like many many wanted, a separate corporate app

Now with Win11 they are making the same mistake again with "Teams" the default app in windows 11, which is different client than the "business teams app" and at launch could not even connect to organizational teams tenants only "Microsoft" teams accounts which should be called Skype....

Skype should remain the consumer / family platform, if they want to bring "teams like" features to that great. Teams should remain a business app
