Doubly confusing then, as they've released Edge for Linux, no?
- mardifoufs 4y agoYep, and edge webview2 uses edge for the most part. Yet there's something specific to the edge webview2 runtime that makes it hard to port even if edge itself is already available on mac/linux. I think it's because it uses some windows specific APIs to expose functionalities that aren't available to regular webviews (maybe the optional process and runtime sharing?) They were planning on maybe releasing the linux port around the end of 2021, as they were prioritizing the mac port first. But I don’t think even the mac port has been released yet... So it kind of makes sense for the Teams team (ha!) to just not bother with a linux release if the runtime they are developing on isn't even on the release roadmap yet. Though I guess that makes the switch from electron even more confusing. https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/WebView2Feedback/issues/645 https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/WebView2Feedback/issues/645
