Microsoft has integrated Microsoft Teams with the Xbox Game Bar, allowing users to stream their gameplay in real-time to friends over Teams video calls. Up to 20 people can join a call to watch and chat together while gaming. The viewer can see both the game and overlaid video of friends. However, streaming performance is currently limited to 30fps or less, which is not ideal for viewing high-fidelity PC games. Viewers also cannot yet see overlaid video during gameplay. While this new feature aims to compete with Discord for social gaming, the integration still needs improvements to provide a comparable experience. Overall, Microsoft is trying to grow Teams communities and social features to rival other platforms like Discord.

You also have Teams for Linux which is compatible with Microsoft Teams (Work)but no longer supported. It however isn't compatible with Microsoft Teams (Personal) but if you try to use Microsoft Teams on Linux for personal use, it tells you to install the now non-existant Teams for Linux that only works with Microsoft Teams (Work).

There's also two different versions of logging out in Teams for Linux, Logout and Log Out. Both of which log you out but only one lets you log in as a different user.

Don't get me started with the Microsoft Teams PWA that is now the "way to use Teams on Linux" but isn't the Teams PWA that installs if you try the normal way...

All hail Microsoft Teams! At least I can stream the games I'm playing to my work meetings so people know I'm skiving.
