# teams-for-linux



Unofficial Microsoft Teams client for Linux using Electron. This app wraps the

web version of Teams as a standalone desktop application.



## Overview



Teams for Linux was developed to provide a native-like desktop experience by

wrapping the web version in an Electron shell.



While we strive to add useful features and improvements, some limitations are

inherent because the app relies on the Microsoft Teams web version. In cases

where Microsoft controls the feature set (or behavior), issues may be closed

with an explanation.



We are not affiliated with Microsoft, and this project is not endorsed by them.

It is an independent effort to provide a better experience for Linux users.



Please report bugs and enhancements in the issues section. We will attend them

as soon as possible. Please review the open/close issues before raising a new

one and avoid duplicates. We encourage everyone to join our chat room in

[matrix](https://matrix.to/#/#teams-for-linux_community:gitter.im) and ask your

questions. That's probably the quickest way to find solutions.
