Microsoft has integrated Microsoft Teams with the Xbox Game Bar, allowing users to stream their gameplay in real-time to friends over Teams video calls. Up to 20 people can join a call to watch and chat together while gaming. The viewer can see both the game and overlaid video of friends. However, streaming performance is currently limited to 30fps or less, which is not ideal for viewing high-fidelity PC games. Viewers also cannot yet see overlaid video during gameplay. While this new feature aims to compete with Discord for social gaming, the integration still needs improvements to provide a comparable experience. Overall, Microsoft is trying to grow Teams communities and social features to rival other platforms like Discord.

To your.. friends? You mean your workplace team? It could be really bad if your only friends are your workplace team

Teams for work or more specifically Teams from Microsoft 365 Business and other corporate plans like E3, E5, etc is different from the Teams installed by default on Windows 11. I don't think you can even message across them.

Microsoft has a real branding problem with messaging services. First they had Skype and Skype for Business and now they have Teams and... Teams. They're completely different products and don't interoperate. This is almost certainly for the home version of Teams.

It's not even a good name. Who thinks of their friends and family as teams?
