“Calum Newton, who uses CandyMoore.mp3 on social media, did an incredible remix of the ringtone, so we reached out to him and asked him to make a version for us to share with you,” explains Surbhi Lohia, a product manager for Microsoft Teams. “His remix is now available for users to customize their Teams experience, and it hits you so hard you want to dance.”

Microsoft proposed to acquire parts of TikTok in 2020 in what was a complicated deal when the Trump administration threatened to punish the platform. TikTok turned down Microsoft, but the software giant has been fascinated by TikTok makers ever since. Microsoft has launched TikTok accounts for most of its brands, and the main Windows account still follows only one TikTok account belonging to a creator who made a meme about the Windows logo. Microsoft has also hired its most-followed TikTok creator, Khaby Lame, to promotes his Xbox Series S console.
