Zoom Video Communications (NASDAQ:ZM) has reportedly discussed Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT) bundling of its Teams collaboration software with Microsoft 365 and Office 365 with regulators around the globe, just days after its CEO suggested the U.S. Federal Trade Commission look into the issue.
The company has spoken with the FTC, as well as regulators in the E.U., U.K. and Germany, Bloomberg reported, citing a person familiar with the matter.
Zoom (ZM) shares were little changed in extended-hours trading on Thursday.
"No matter what, youâve got to be fair," Zoom CEO Eric Yuan said earlier this week, speaking at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia + Technology Conference.
"We have huge competitors, sometimes they bundle everything together," Yuan added.
Last month, Microsoft (MSFT) said it would unbundle Teams from its Office product starting October 1 in the European Economic Area and Switzerland. It will sell Microsoft 365 and Office 365 at a lower price of â¬2 less per month or â¬24 per year.
The company was hit with several antitrust concerns over the matter, including from Salesforce's (CRM) Slack and Alfaview, based in Germany.
The European Commission opened an investigation after Teams competitor, Slack, complained about unfair practices in 2020.
