Good question kejml. It sounds like the Linux experience of Teams needs more love. I can't say I've tried it. How functional is it from a web browser in Linux? The web client is quite good and meetings / calls are improving in the web client.
Unfortunately web is basically same as Linux, meaning no custom background during video call, at most 4 video feeds at once, no reactions during calls (just raising hand), no breakout rooms, etc
Fingers crossed that the browser experience will become richer and closer to the desktop experience.
What capabilities are your developers looking for in Teams? Or is it just they want more video feeds, reactions, custom backgrounds. (custom backgrounds coming to web client soon. See this message from the Microsoft 365 Message Center MC277112.)- The calls are the most used feature in development, so keeping this part up to date works be wonderful. I personally miss the background the most, because many people don't like to turn on their cameras without that and the calls miss part of the human contact
- But custom backgrounds will come to modern browsers. Indeed there is an article written by my fellow Tony Redmon where he introduces the feature: https://office365itpros.com/2021/09/14/teams-background-effects-available-for-web-browsers/
- Oh, I didn't know that, thanks for the update. I personally would prefer the update of the desktop app, but having the browser as a workaround is great news
