New Teams generally available - implications for teams-for-linux? #968

I'm in the same boat of not fully understanding the present Electron wrapping. Microsoft says that they will provide a new web-based version of Teams soon, and it might be possible for our clever devs to wrap that in Electron again just like they've been doing until now. Webview2 is bundled with Edge on Windows, but there's also a standalone version available for Windows that devs can distribute along with their apps: It seems that there's an internal preview for Mac already, but it will only work with Teams v2.1: MS have been promising such a standalone Linux version too, but we may be in for a long wait if I look at dates of the promises in the threads below: |

teams-for-linux is running on my manjaro. i use the package through AUR. logging in with my company account. it was changing to new version automatically. i wanted to test if i could use the client as a producer for live events and i had to switch to classic for that. i did that just to find out i can't use it for the producer role. but now it stays in classic and i wonder how to get back into new. |

Hello,
I just read about this:
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-teams-blog/announcing-general-availability-of-the-new-microsoft-teams-app/ba-p/3934603
They rewrote the app from the ground-up apparently, and I was wondering what the implications are (if any) for teams-for-linux, since AFAIK it's wrapping the webapp, and I haven't entirely understood if that one is gonna be affected in any way.
Thanks! :)
