teams-for-linux2.28.0

teams-for-linux places the Microsoft Teams Web App in a dedicated Linux desktop window, giving users a separate workspace for Teams communication instead of another browser tab. It wraps that web experience in Electron as a native desktop application, adding integration that a browser session does not provide. Maintained by Ismael Martinez Ramos, it is an unofficial, independent client and is not affiliated with Microsoft.

The application delivers system notifications and integrates with the system tray, with badge behavior depending on the desktop environment. It supports custom backgrounds and themes, screen sharing, and multiple account profiles. Because it presents the Teams Web App rather than implementing a separate messaging service, some capabilities remain limited by the web version.

It suits people who use Teams for work, study, or group coordination and want a dedicated desktop presence for chats, meetings, and shared conversations. It is open-source software released under the GPL-3.0 license and belongs to the Communication category.

Version 2.28.0 targets x86_64 (amd64) systems and requires Linux with snapd. Electron’s context isolation and sandbox are disabled to permit Teams DOM access, so the project points users toward system-level isolation through Flatpak, Snap confinement, Firejail, or the AppArmor and SELinux facilities commonly supplied by Linux distributions.
