The only correct answer to that depends on whether Microsoft Teams provides API 
that vends such information.

That code is answering the wrong question. It might appear to provide the state 
of some running apps, but all it actually does is indicate the presence of some 
particularly-named windows.

Consider:

- What happens when the user happens to be editing a document in another app 
(say, TextEdit) whose name happens to be "Microsoft Teams"? (Or "Zoom"? etc.)
- What happens when Microsoft revises their UI in a future version such that 
the window is called something else?

The window-enumeration approach is coarse and fragile at best.
