Please support MS Teams on arm64 linux

With the new situtation of online schooling, and such widespread usage of MS-teams for schools - I believe it's MS's social responsibility to make "MS-teams for Linux" feature rich, and also make a linux app for arm32/arm64.

Raspberry Pi is a decent affordable desktop for the masses.

As for using MS-teams with Raspberry Pi, the status now is - we can connect to the meeting, but when the teacher is doing screen sharing, the chromium browser based login is not able to see it.

This one feature is stopping kids from using a Raspberry Pi to connect to online classes.

Please help!

    Hi @Ajith Kumar

    There is currently no real plan for Linux ARM client. We recommend you give your feedback in Teams UserVoice:
    (Link:https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/39978295-please-provide-a-teams-linux-client-for-raspberry). Microsoft will always focus on customer’s feedback and experience. Some new features would be added to the services based on customers' feedback in the future, and your good ideas will be very helpful for them to improve the service.

    Your time, understanding and cooperation will be highly appreciated.
