From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If I'm not mistaken, this app is just a wrapper for the web app.
I had a lot of issues with wayland and that app.
Indeed this is the description I find on Discover:
The advantage compared to teams.microsoft.com (at least when I load it in Firefox), is that it has many more features, since I guess it's using an "Edge" user agent, which unlocks stuff that is not enabled for FF. For example, I can have 1:1 calls (yeah, I know...) and blur my background or even set a background pic, all things I can't really do on FF.
On the other hand, screen sharing works unreliably (at least in a Wayland session, X11 is fine). I've reported a bug to KDE since I assumed it's a kwin issue, but I should test it with a gnome wayland live medium as well...
