FULL STORY
======================================================================

Microsoft has rebadged its Chat app to Microsoft Teams (free) as part of a 
fairly sizeable overhaul to Windows 11 in the latest 23H2 update. 

Microsoft Teams Product VP Amit Fulay said in an announcement that the 
consumer-focused app will allow users to chat, call, and create free meetings 
in just a click or two. 

As part of the update, Microsoft has also introduced a new view for the 
desktop client which is supposed to be less intrusive. Chat becomes Microsoft 
Teams (free) in Windows 11 23H2 

Alongside a regular, full-sized Teams window, there is also now a condensed 
experience that Microsoft is calling Mini  an option that users can select in 
the top right corner of the app. 

Teams is most commonly used in business settings for its powerful video 
conferencing and online collaboration functionalities, but it has struggled 
to gain any measurable traction among regular consumers. 

In the announcement, Fulay proudly advertises the new SMS in Teams feature, 
which facilitates SMS sending and receiving from compatible Android phones 
(sorry, iPhone users). 

Elsewhere, the company has made changes to gaming with Teams, its Communities 
section, and notifications. 

In another post , Windows Servicing and Delivery Program Management VP John 
Cable explained: We are providing a limited scope of new features and 
functionality delivered via a familiar, fast and reliable update experience. 

At the end of September, Windows got an even bigger update, including the 
introduction of Copilot natively in the OS, AI-enhanced tools for Paint, and 
a slicker backup process, among other things . 

The Windows 11 update is available now and can be installed via Settings >
