Microsoft, which is said to have been considering adding a huge offer for the Slack, has beautifully been standing on the sidelines and watch as the newcomer picked customers from services such as SharePoint, Skype for Business and Yammer.
But now embarks the software giant into battle seriously.
Microsoft is working on a direct competitor to Slack called Skype Teams, reports MSPoweruser and refers to anonymous sources.

In addition, there is of course a counterpart to Slacks cherished Giphy integration. In “The Fun picker”, members can add funny gifs, crazy emoji and memes tailored for the workplace.
MSPoweruser have no information on when Slack Teams will be released, but says only that it is ongoing internal testing at Microsoft . Site sources say that the service will be released for Office 365 subscribers only.
