You still get all the same features you need.

How to use Teams on a Chromebook

There are two ways to use Teams on a Chromebook. You can access the Android version of Microsoft Teams on a Chromebook, but you need to keep in mind that this is primarily a mobile app, so the user interface isn’t ideal for non-touch devices, and some features like video might not work.
