It would be nice if Teams for Linux was kept up to date with Teams for Windows.

As far as I know, the latest Teams for Windows was released last week with features such as 3x3 video grid as well as "raise hand"-functionality.
While the last release of Teams for Linux was released 2020-03-20 as far as I can tell (version 1.3.00.5153).

Could you please make sure that the Linux client is released simultaneously as the Windows client?

    Hi RobinFriberg-9248!

    Thanks for your feedback!

    Indeed, many users have complained teams for linux update is slower and not synchronized with Teams for windows.

    As MichaelMassee said, it recommends you vote for it in Teams UserVoice. Your kindly response will improve user experience in product.

    I will also vote for it later and hope these functions can be updated as soon as possible.

    As noted in another thread, the client features seem to be available in the Linux client, but turned off and on at the server side, seemingly at random, with no explanation as to why (3x3 grid comes to mind).
