Note: Microsoft does not break out revenue of individual units in its Productivity and Business Processes Division. This division includes Microsoft 365, Dynamics and Teams. As Teams comes as part of the Microsoft 365 package, it is difficult to ascertain how much revenue is individually created by it. We have estimated based on Microsoft 365 revenues and how many of those subscribers used Teams each year.
