The proposed changes came a month after the European Commission launched an investigation into Microsoft's tying of Office and Teams following a complaint by Salesforce-owned (CRM.N) workspace messaging app Slack in 2020.
The EU competition enforcer on Thursday said it took note of the company's announcement and declined further comment.
Teams was added to Office 365 in 2017 for free.
New enterprise customers can buy Teams standalone and separately for 5 euros per month or 60 euros per year, while existing enterprise customers who already have a suite with Teams can choose to keep it or move to a without-Teams suite.
Microsoft will also develop a new method for hosting the Office web applications within competing apps and services similar to what it does with Teams.
