It is the goal of Microsoft Teams for Education. If at another time it was Microsoft that dominated that market, the arrival of Apple first and especially Chrome OS later, came to pose a previously non-existent competition

But from the American company they don't want to resign themselves to losing the leading role and the best way to avoid an unpleasant situation is not just betting by new environments, but by launching improvements and updates to the market aimed at enhancing the possibilities of working in such a specific segment.
