Messenger hotmail 2018

You're referring to the rebranding of Microsoft's messaging service in 2018!

In July 2018, Microsoft announced that it would be rebranding its messaging service, previously known as Skype for Business, as Microsoft Teams. This change was part of a larger effort to unify Microsoft's communication and collaboration tools under a single brand.

At the same time, Microsoft also announced that it would be discontinuing its Outlook.com Messenger service, which was a standalone messaging app that allowed users to chat with friends and family. The app was replaced by Microsoft Teams, which offers a more comprehensive set of features for team collaboration and communication.

Here's a brief timeline of the changes:

After the rebranding, users who previously used Outlook.com Messenger were migrated to Microsoft Teams, where they could continue to chat with friends and family. Microsoft Teams offers a range of features, including group chats, file sharing, and integration with other Microsoft apps like Office and OneDrive.
