Linux to get Microsoft Teams- Teams for Linux
Hayden a Twitter user (via Windows Central), spotted a thread on the Microsoft Teams UserVoice page where Teams engineer Alex confirmed that Microsoft wants Teams to be everywhere and that some of its customers use Linux. He also said, “Say tuned for more information soon.” You can try this: $ sudo apt-key adv –keyserver https://t.co/wSQl0svQ9T –recv-keys EB3E94ADBE1229CF $ sudo sh -c ‘echo “deb https://t.co/byJ6y2vUXa stable main” > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/teams.list’ $ sudo apt-get update BUT there’s nothing in the repo yet. — Hayden (@unixterminal) August 6, 2019 Also Read- Very soon you will be able to use WhatsApp web without phone on PC This thread is originally from 2016, but Alex’s response is from July of this year. There’s another response from October of last year from Suphatra – who no longer works at Microsoft – also seemingly confirming that the company is working on a Linux version. For this, an apt repo has been created as well, although, at this time, there’s nothing that’s actually in it.

It is easily understood that if that’s the main barrier for some of its users to migrate to Teams, Microsoft might create its own app for Linux.
