Microsoft rolls out Windows 11 update with Teams chat built in - CNBC

Microsoft on Tuesday said it's rolling out a Windows 11 update that includes its Chat feature for talking with friends and family members over Microsoft Teams.

People can access the Chat feature by entering the keyboard shortcut Win-C (formerly the shortcut for accessing the Cortana virtual assistant) from any screen in Windows 11, Brandon LeBlanc, a Microsoft senior program manager, wrote in a blog post.

Once the Chat window is open, it's possible to open the full-fledged Microsoft Teams app, which has been redesigned for Windows 11.

If more people do start using Teams as a result of its inclusion in Windows 11 in the form of Chat, that could pose fresh challenges to competitors, including Slack and Zoom.
