I started having a bit of hope, until I read the cons :

> Doesn't support calls, provides direct links to the Teams website

I'll get there one day ;(

The frontend/backend split of Pidgin/libpurple makes this tricky, and we still don't have voice and video in a Windows release (my main dev OS these days)

Is that specifically for Teams, or is it a general limitation of libpurple?

It's an issue with libpurple and the user interfaces. It's something we'll ideally be tackling in the next few months in purple3/pidgin3 as we get closer and closer to an alpha release.

I wait with baited breath.
