There's Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Teams.
Microsoft Teams is for consumers and is the one preinstalled in Windows 11
Then there's Microsoft Teams. It's for business. Is completely incompatible with the other Microsoft Teams and is a separate app.
The icon is also "different". One has the Microsoft teams logo in white on a purple background, the other has the Microsoft teams logo in purple on a white background (forgot which and which)
I really don't understand why they don't use the Skype branding for the consumer version. They forgot how many billions they paid for that?
You also have Teams for Linux which is compatible with Microsoft Teams (Work)but no longer supported. It however isn't compatible with Microsoft Teams (Personal) but if you try to use Microsoft Teams on Linux for personal use, it tells you to install the now non-existant Teams for Linux that only works with Microsoft Teams (Work).
There's also two different versions of logging out in Teams for Linux, Logout and Log Out. Both of which log you out but only one lets you log in as a different user.
Don't get me started with the Microsoft Teams PWA that is now the "way to use Teams on Linux" but isn't the Teams PWA that installs if you try the normal way...
All hail Microsoft Teams! At least I can stream the games I'm playing to my work meetings so people know I'm skiving.
That happened in a past quarter. Money spent in past quarters doesn't matter. The next fiscal quarter is what matters.
They've totally ruined any brand power that Skype once had by now, so in this case, I get it.
They do the same thing with PowerBI. THe cloud version is one icon, the PowerBI for Reports Server (aka locally hosted) is for the on-prem version. Pretty annoying.
I work with Teams (Business version) daily. Have never even seen the other one.
