Many people using Outlook run Teams meetings, because it's just one button click away in Outlook. Compare to others where you have to go to a different tool and create a meeting and copy-paste a link.
The antitrust way would be to have Outlook have buttons for a lot of different meeting services out of the box. Many don't require installing any software (Google meet for example). It's all just API:s.
- Gh0stRAT 6y agoMy employer's Outlook does have a button for a competing meeting service. (WebEx) Some people are starting to use Teams for their meetings now because some of them like it better than WebEx, but it is exactly the same amount of effort to schedule either of them directly from Outlook.
- Gravityloss 6y agoIn my opinion, Webex is very old and for example Linux compatibility is worse than Teams.
- addicted 6y agoAnyone can build a 1 click experience similar to the Teams add-in for outlook.
- Gravityloss 6y agoSo some kind of plugin?
- bradstewart 6y agoYep. For instance, there's a Zoom plugin that puts a "make a Zoom meeting" button right there as well.
- Godel_unicode 6y agoThat's how teams does it, yes.
