App is not maintained anymore since our team moved to another tool. Possible updates will be available in the original project.
Microsoft Teams Capsule is unofficial Microsoft Teams application for Linux, which uses electron framework to wrap web version of Microsoft Teams.
With this app you will be able to launch web version as an application with no need to keep the browser tap always open.
Application also offers notifications for unread messages, but it's very limited.
Applications is distributed in the AppImage format and should run on all common Linux distributions.
