The Microsoft teams desktop app is written using a JavaScript framework called Electron. Electron is just a framework that allows you to write a single-page web app and install/launch it like a native application. Because it’s written in JavaScript (the same language web browsers use. Electron apps are literally their own chromium based web browser. It’s part of the reason those apps use so much of your computers resources) it is OS agnostic and cross platform without really needing consideration.
