WhatsApp/MS Teams Launcher
Chrome removed the launchpad to launch single-window web apps, but it's easy to create a desktop launcher.
First install chromium:
sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
Now, right-click desktop, add launcher and configure as following:
click on rocket icon to change icon. Name: WhatsApp Command: chromium-browser --app=http://web.whatsapp.com
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/:
Telegram Desktop allows Phone Calls, Telegram Web (https://web.telegram.org/) does not.
apt-get install telegram-desktop
- ~/Desktop/Skype.desktop
[Desktop Entry] Name=Skype Exec=chromium --app=https://web.skype.com/ Comment=Skype Terminal=false Icon=skype Type=Application
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”
