  The origin of this problem is that Linux Ubuntu 22.04 uses Wayland as main communication protocol between a display server and its clients. And the Elektron version that Teams is currently using doesn't support Wayland as it should. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Think twice before abandoning Xorg. Wayland breaks everything!

  Sure- but it sounds like there's a chicken and egg problem for getting buy-in for Wayland. Wayland's website says "GNOME and KDE are expected to be ported to it." Sounds like everyone agrees Wayland is better than X, if we could snap our fingers and make everything Wayland, but I'm thinking there will have to a desktop environment that throws its weight behind Wayland minus X-Wayland (plus Chrome working great on... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
