What do you mean by "beyond team communications"?

You meet a random person and wish to connect on a chat/presence system - that is what I mean by "beyond team communications". Acceptability of such a system for that purpose either requires overwhelming adoption of a single provider (Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger) or federation (SMS, SMTP, XMPP back when Google had not yet killed it). Team communications does not suffer that acceptability requirement because tooling is hierarchically mandated.
