+Chrome removed the launchpad to launch single-window web apps, but it's easy to create a desktop launcher.
 First install chromium:
 <code>
-sudo apt-get install chromium
+sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
 </code>
 Now, right-click desktop, add launcher and configure as following:
 <code>
+click on rocket icon to change icon.
 Name: WhatsApp
-Command: chromium --app=http://web.whatsapp.com
+Command: chromium-browser --app=http://web.whatsapp.com
 </code>
 confirm. Add to menu when asked (if desired).
+For MS Teams, the tenant ID can be specified to log into a particular server immediately.
+Icons to be copied to ~/.local/share/icons or /usr/share/icons/:
+{{config:ms-teams.png?50}}
+{{config:ms-teams_icon.png?50}}
+{{config:publisher.png?50}}
+{{config:telegram.png?50}}
+{{config:whatsapp.png?50}}
+{{config:aco.ico?50}}
+Telegram Desktop allows Phone Calls, Telegram Web (https://web.telegram.org/) does not.
+<code>
+apt-get install telegram-desktop
+</code>
+<code - ~/Desktop/Teams_free.desktop>
+[Desktop Entry]
+Name=Teams free
+Exec=chromium --app=https://teams.live.com/v2
+Comment=Teams free
+Terminal=false
+Icon=ms-teams_icon
+Type=Application
+</code>
+====== Native Way ======
+Google Chrome/Chromium now supports this feature naturally which keeps taskbar icons separate as well:
+  - Open website
+  - Click the 3 dots > More Tools > Create shortcut..
+  - Check "Open as window" and press "Create"
