It’s also an exciting opportunity for developers who have built apps for Teams to be able to grow their reach to this new set of users. We are committed to supporting mixed environments across our cloud and productivity offerings, and with this announcement, we are pleased to extend the Teams experience to Linux users.
Most of our customers have devices running on a variety of different platforms such as Windows 10, Linux and others. Teams is the hub for teamwork that brings together chat, video meetings, calling, and collaboration on Office 365 documents and business processes within a single, integrated experience. The Microsoft Teams client is the first Microsoft 365 app that is coming to Linux desktops, and will support all of Teams’ core capabilities. We are constantly improving based on community feedback, so please download and submit feedback based on your experience. Users can download the native Linux packages in. Starting today, Microsoft Teams is available for Linux users in public preview, enabling high quality collaboration experiences for the open source community at work and in educational institutions.
