To be able to use a few github functionalities, it was decided to unfork the project [#87](https://github.com/IsmaelMartinez/teams-for-linux/issues/87).

The original idea was to let the project die when Microsoft would implement a desktop client for linux, as requested on the [Microsoft Suggestions Forum](https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/16911565-linux-client). Microsoft released a linux client on February 13, 2020 ([Download](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/microsoft-teams/download-app#desktopAppDownloadregion), [Instructions](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/get-clients#linux)).
However, the development of this project continued, as it is suprior on some aspects (screen share able to share single windows, normal window border [#281](https://github.com/IsmaelMartinez/teams-for-linux/issues/281#issuecomment-601578412), command-line interface, and, of course, open-source).

Currently, the project is in a stable condition, and should continue as long as needed. Non stable versions are released as pre-release.
IsmaelMartinez is not "implementing new features, only fixing issues, but happy to help and accept new PRs" ([351](https://github.com/IsmaelMartinez/teams-for-linux/issues/351#issuecomment-626590582)).
However, by the [end of 2022](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1791839/where-is-teams-for-linux) Microsoft stopped its support.

The support for this project didn't stop as some users still preferred this open source version. Their contributions keep this project alive, and are the main part this community still growing.

Currently, the project is in a stable condition, and should continue as long as the community needs it. Non stable versions are released as pre-release. We do appreciate any contributions, from issue, ideas to PRs, and anything in between. Those contributions are what keeps this project alive.
