The idea that it was MS Teams’s sales team behind the anti Zoom “propaganda” (lets accept that it was propaganda for now) doesn’t make much sense because it was never obvious that MS would be the beneficiary of people moving away from Zoom.
Teams was half baked at best, and lacked a vast majority of the features that made Zoom useful. For example, it was only well into the pandemic that Teams gained the ability to have virtual backgrounds. You couldn’t have meetings with more than 10 or so people until very recently. Pretty much none of the features that made Zoom popular were even possible on Teams.
The real beneficiary should have been Google Hangouts, but Google moved too slowly (actually, it would probably be more accurate to say that Google didn’t move at all…or if they did they moved backwards).
