Back in September we learned that Microsoft was bringing their Microsoft Teams software to Linux and today it has entered a public preview state.

Microsoft Teams is the company's communication platform built for chat / video messaging / collaborative file storage and other features similar to Slack as its principal competitor.

Microsoft bringing their Teams software to Linux isn't such a big hurdle as it's built on CEF/Electron, but is nice to see native Linux support made available.

Microsoft Teams is available as a free trial while also offered through their Office 365 subscriptions.
