This can also be used as a workaround for Teams on Linux not being able to get video input from a laptop's built in webcam.

Also, a bit off topic but has anyone had any luck getting the Windows version of Teams running in Wine? The Linux version is missing a few features I would really like to have (together mode, camera support, being able to view more than 4 participants at a time).

Since it is a webapp running on electron, I chose to install microsoft Edge for Linux and use the web version of teams. It also handle output/microphone devices changing much better than the app and is more stable than the windows app.

Re: video input - does the same problem occur when using the (unofficial, in maintenance-only mode) teams-for-linux[1] client?

(I haven't tried using the Windows version under Wine, sorry)
