      With today 21,232 votes and 1979 comments dating back up to six years.. It appears an active decision to not support Linux. Other Microsoft products have been able to provide linux clients without fuss.
      This thread appears a waste of time. There is an apparent lack of willingness.
      I'll keep pushing to use an alternative solution than skype-for-business in our company.

      Skype for Business is critical for Linux. Some companies are offering the interviews over the Skype for Business that is one of many reasons.

      important missing application for Linux environment. I don't want to use vmware windows under Ubuntu for purpose of using skype for business. There is a sound echo in vmware environment. It is not really working well.

      This is very important missing option and it is really bad for Microsoft.If Microsoft does not provide native Linux app for skpye for business, they can provide webapp from browser like webex for skype for business which enables skype under Linux.

      Hello,

      Could you please release Skype for business on Linux as soon as possible ?
      It's a real issue not to be able to use this service.

      Regards,
      Guillaume

      Hello,

      I've been using skype for linux for a long time, probably since it was released.

      I am very happy to see that now that microsoft owns Skype more updates are being released as well.

      I used Linux on my Desktop most of the time on the company I work for, We uses Microsoft Teams as default and I used it on Linux and would love to have skype for business also.

      Best Regards

      For work, I have three IM platforms: Skype for Business, MS Teams, and Slack.

      On Linux (CentOS 8) by far Slack works the best. Video, audio, and desktop sharing are fast and flawless.

      MS Teams works for video and audio, but not for sharing desktop. And not for certain shared video contents (Codec issue I'm guessing).

      And Skype for Business is a non-starter. And I've had no luck installing under Wine64.

      So Slack will continue to be our main goto in our team until the other issues with MS teams and Skype Business are resolved.
