Microsoft today confirmed that it is working on a version of Linux for its Microsoft Teams platform for teamwork..
With support on the most popular platforms such as Android, MacOS, or Windows, Microsoft Teams offers a robust platform where teams can talk, share files, and work with business applications.
More and more people are starting to use Linux these days and as Microsoft integrated Linux into its Windows operating system through the WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) project, the company has decided that it is time to announce that it is working on Microsoft Teams to Linux.
After Microsoft was rumored to be working on Microsoft Teams for Linux, a company employee took to twitter to confirm that this version will be around soon.
It looks like Microsoft is about to release @MicrosoftTeams for Linux. The UserVoice has been updated to "stay tuned" and a Linux apt repo has been created: https://t.co/byJ6y2vUXa #Linux cc @Daniel_Rubino @JoeRessington pic.twitter.com/7TSUbc56Ru

Furthermore, not only was it confirmed that Microsoft Teams for Linux is already being developed, it was also mentioned that the repository for Ubuntu and Debian is already created, so users of these two distributions will be able to install it quickly.
Everything seems to indicate that Microsoft Teams for Linux was possible due to high demand. A client's request for Linux in the forum got over 9,000 votes. Although it should be clarified that Microsoft Teams for Linux will not be open source, because the code will remain closed.
You can try Microsoft Teams on the official site, there you can know everything you need from the service and be prepared for when the Linux version arrives.
