Introducing Microsoft Teams for Gamers, a new platform that empowers gamers to get the best out of their gaming sessions. Game, meet, chat, call, and collaborate in just one place. Discord Meet Now is now available in Windows 10 taskbar so you can meet with a simple click. No sign ups. No downloads required. Would you like to try Discord in the new Microsoft Edge, "the browser recommended by Microsoft"?

Microsoft may try its hand at integrating Discord within the Xbox ecosystem.

Note that Microsoft Teams for Gamers doesn't work with Microsoft Teams for Enterprise (Linc) or Microsoft Teams for Home (Skype). Microsoft branding is such a clusterfuck.

  What about Skype for Business?

  Microsoft software is a clusterfuck. The branding is very clean. It's not the marketing guys' fault that MS bought 3 different solutions to the same problem.

    Very true. It is the years and years of crap needed for backwards compatibility. They really should make a separate Windows without backwards compatibility.

    How is the branding clean when you have different, thoroughly incompatible products under the same name and go to great lengths to blur the line between them? I can think of the following instances: - Visual Studio (the real deal), Visual Studio for Mac (MonoDevelop), Visual Studio Code (Atom clone) - OneNote (the original, part of Office), OneNote for Windows 10 (nerfed UWP rewrite) - Skype, Skype for Business (Lync) My issue is that the same name is slapped onto different products that have significant user-visible differences and lack compatibility with one another. That's why I'm not including Outlook, because every product that is called "Outlook" does at least talk to Exchange and doesn't create its own island.

W10 Privacy + O&O Shutup10 usually solves these problems for me.
