Microsoft has integrated Microsoft Teams with the Xbox Game Bar, allowing users to stream their gameplay in real-time to friends over Teams video calls. Up to 20 people can join a call to watch and chat together while gaming. The viewer can see both the game and overlaid video of friends. However, streaming performance is currently limited to 30fps or less, which is not ideal for viewing high-fidelity PC games. Viewers also cannot yet see overlaid video during gameplay. While this new feature aims to compete with Discord for social gaming, the integration still needs improvements to provide a comparable experience. Overall, Microsoft is trying to grow Teams communities and social features to rival other platforms like Discord.

    I wish Microsoft would have actually been taught a lesson about anti-trust bullshit rather than having a pro oligarch new administration let them off scot free

      Teams is for work when your employer got a good deal on Microsoft software and didn’t give you Slack or literally any other alternative for voice.

          Me too. Teams is the worst for finding old conversations. They might as well be gone after a couple days pass.

          Not to mention lately teams will sometimes just not update with any notifications lately. So I’ll go an hour with no messages or whatever and then suddenly teams decides to update informing me that I missed a call and a handful of messages.

          Signing out and back in usually helps but man it feels like they took Skype and just Jerry rigged it

      There’s Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Teams.

      Microsoft Teams is for customers 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?

        That happened in a past quarter. Money spent in past quarters doesn’t matter. The next fiscal quarter is wheat matters.

    To your… friends? You mean your workplace team? It could be really bad if your only friends are your workplace team
