>>I simply can not get it to work. Seems like that is something you should have stated in the first comment. >>Linux/Chromebooks depending on the person in the team and this alone seems to be a major barrier Something like les than 1% of the world uses Linux on the desktop. Dont get me wrong I love Linux, I used it as my primary desktop from 2005 until around 2012 when I went back to Windows (windows 10) But calling problems on linux a "major issue" seems to over state the usage of Linux Desktop further depending on when you tried it, and what client you were using that is likely the root cause The Linux Desktop client always sucked, so much is no longer a thing, 100% a web app now. The web App teams should work just fine.

1% of the world -> you are missing out on whole orgs that use Chromebooks. I'm sure that if you use the whole Windows enchilada that it may work, but given that Microsoft has shipped a Linux desktop client[1] I would expect that thing to simply work. It doesn't. Besides wanting to run all the time even when you're not in a teams meeting. Video conferencing is all about seamless integration, it should get out of the way as much as possible and as soon as the tool becomes the focal point of the meeting in my book you've failed to deliver.

And they retired it, apparently because they agreed with my assessment or it isn't worth their trouble.
