I see a couple of versions that relevant to Linux(Ubuntu 20.04 LTS).

  1. Unofficial - not relevant
  2. Insider
  3. Preview

Can someone please explain to me what is different between the Insider version(this version I can see on the Ubuntu Software app), and the Preview version(who I downloaded from the Microsoft Teams website)?

    @Ron Potashnik ,

    Currently, it has no official document explain the differences between these two versions.

    I just download both versions. It seems no special difference whether from the version number and user interface.

    According to my understanding, the preview version could preview new features in advance; the insiders version includes the general available features.
