The main benefit would be a smaller download size for the app, since the user doesn't need to download a whole separate instance of chromium, instead using the one already in the OS. Are there changes to the app, or just swapping electron for WebView? What exactly is the difference here? Electron is largely just a chromium wrapper, same concept as WebView, they both run web apps on the desktop (although Electron also includes a node server as well). On the other hand, the current web version is limited in some key areas - you can still share windows during a meeting but can't see which window you're sharing (no highlight), you can't see more than 4 video participants, no badge in the Taskbar to indicate waiting messages, etc. Just stupid (fixing this is on Microsoft's Teams roadmap). Because Teams is intended for real-time communication, this would be like having to sign in to get text messages from your office, and while signed in there, your wife can't also text you. Desktop Teams (stupidly, in my opinion) does not let you connect to more than 1 account at a time - if you want to join more than 1, you have to sign out of one to join the other. The web version makes this trivial with one per profile. I currently use both the Electron Desktop app, because it provides a few more features than Teams on the web, and also the existing web version via Edge's "Install this page as an app." I would prefer the desktop app version over the web version, but it's completely broken if you need to join multiple tenants (domains). I hope this brings all the strengths of the desktop version to the web version.
