Hi Crystal,

You can run Android apps on Chromebook so I believe you can run Microsoft Edge..

Install Android apps on your Chromebook - Chromebook Help

https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/70...

Microsoft Edge – Apps on Google Play

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=c...

The experience would not be same as desktop, though.

    I am both a Windows 10 (Dell XPS) and a Chromebook (Acer Spin 713) user - simply because my clients use both.

    Teams works well in the browser environment and is my preferred approach even when using Windows.  I do this so that I get the *same* experience across platforms (though I am disappointed that Teams in the browser has lesss/different functionality to the experience of theTeams Windows app).

    However, Teams running in Chrome regularly tells me "No big deal-but we need to refresh to show your content.".  Outlook and Teams often ask me to reauthenticate during a working day even though I tick the "remember me" options  despite me using chrome://discards to prefent the various Microsoft tabs from being auto discardable.

    Now admin.microsoft.com has just suggested that I download Edge and provides a link to download it only to tell me it isn't supported on  ChromeOS!

    I don't normally mind sales and marketing plugs for products but I object to this being inserted into a paid for O365 business experience especially when the product being plugged isn't even supported on the platform to which the ads are being displayed.

    I fear the disparity between the browser experience and the native Windows experience will only get worse as we are encouraged to subscribe to Windows machines in the cloud.
