Still no news?
The only trick I've found is to use an Electron wrapper found in this snap?

Window Sharing in Teams Linux
I have migrated to using Linux full time and while Teams under Linux is "good", it does not support "Window Sharing" (only screen sharing).
I have 2x 4x Screens, so "Screen Sharing" does not work very well.
Is the "Window Sharing" on the roadmap and I need to be patient? Or it will never happen and I need to find another solution?

2021-06-14T13:38:13.407+00:00 A workaround would be to use something like OBS studio to create a virtual camera that captures the window you would like to share. So instead of sharing your screen, you would be changing your camera to being the OBS virtual camera.
- Install OBS studio by following the instructions here:https://obsproject.com/
- Launch OBS studio. If launching for the first time, it will ask you how you want to use OBS studio. I selected the virtual cam option.
- In the sources menu at the bottom mid-left, click on + and select "window capture".
- Next in the menu that appears, select add new.
- In the window drop down, select the window you want to share.
- Click ok, you should now see your window in the OBS display.
- In the bottom right control panel, click on start virtual camera.
- In teams select virtual camera as your camera: this should work.
