That's not how it works to a reasonable person, but marketers can count however best suits them.
As long as they don't mind fighting with the SEC, sure.
Microsoft Teams overtakes Slack with 13M daily users

Re: Microsoft Teams overtakes Slack with 13M daily users
#12The key difference is that an active user on Microsoft Teams is someone with an outlook mailbox, and an active user on Slack is someone who uses Slack
That's not how it works.
As a former MSFT employee (on Azure), Teams daily active users are counted even when someone on Outlook hosts a meeting, which is automatically converted into a Teams meeting link. Therefore, unless an enterprise is still sticking with Skype, Teams users will automatically get trickled in from Outlook.

That would only be if they hosted an online meeting (an audio or video conference), not for any outlook meeting (i.e. a meeting booked with outlook doing scheduling, but meeting happening in a good old meeting room). And that is then comparable to slack video conferencing, so probably a fair comparison.

#14Would be useful to note how many users of Teams do so, where their employer pays specifically for it. My guess is that most users of Teams are effectively corporate ‘Microsoft shops’ who effectively get Teams for free with their Office365 bundle.
Another useful statistic to ascertain: how many startups or small businesses use Slack compared to in large corporates?
