Any idea on how to use Team's video chat w/ Surface Hub?

I work on a highly collaborative, yet dispersed team. We have a Surface hub at one location that we use for all our daily standup meetings. I would love to be able to switch to Microsoft Teams for ...

This isn't possible yet, as the Surface Hub runs a cut down version of Windows 10 called (funnily enough) "Windows 10 Team" which can't run x86 apps.
Until the Skype for Business functionality built into the Hub allows the joining of Teams calls, or a Teams "Modern" app appears on the Windows Store we won't have that type of functionality.
It's definitely something to put on the UserVoice site for Teams though.

I noticed in Modern Workplace Season 3 Episode 8 that there was a Surface Hub running what looks like Microsoft Teams and Cortana integration. It is when the main presenter is talking to one of the Microsoft Envisioning Team members at 17:55 minutes into the episode. Gives me hope they are launching Teams as a UWP App in the App Store. Also at the product launch event for Surface Laptop Microsoft annouced Microst Education and a new version of Windows 10 that is launching and will be store only apps allowed, no executibles. They annouced Office 365 apps to be launched in the Windows Store soon. The Education part of microsoft also allows access to Teams so if the OS, Windows 10 S is store mode only and the education space has office 365 and teams there will have to be an app.
