Microsoft
said on Tuesday that it is introducing a Windows 11 update that includes its
Chat feature over Microsoft Teams.
Users who
are testing Windows 11 will be able to test the software before it becomes
available later this year.
Brandon LeBlanc, a Microsoft senior program manager, wrote
in a blog post that users can access the Chat feature by using the shortcut
Win+C in Windows 11. An icon would also be available in the task bar.
The manager
further wrote that initially users can only chat through individual and group
chats while features like voice and video calls will be incorporated later.
If a person
using Chat in Windows 11 sends a message to someone who is not using Teams,
then the recipient will get the message through email or SMS, LeBlanc wrote.
“Today, Microsoft announced that it is going to
bundle Teams with Windows as well as Office,” Slack said on the day Microsoft
announced Windows 11, reported CNBC.
“Our reaction is simple: choice is better than lock-in, open
is better than closed, and fair competition is best of all. Unfortunately,
Microsoft has never seen it that way.”
