Microsoft Teams, also referred to as simply Teams, is a unified communication and collaboration platform that combines persistent workplace chat, video meetings, file storage (including collaboration on files), and application integration. The service integrates with the Office 365 subscription office productivity suite and features extensions that can integrate with non-Microsoft products. Microsoft Teams is a competitor to services such as Slack and is the evolution and upgrade path from Microsoft Skype for Business.

Installation

Using your browser (at the moment only Chrome and Edge are supported) visit

https://teams.microsoft.com

and click in the URL bar the icon on the right to install the PWA (Progressive Web Application) version of Teams

Troubleshooting

It may be the case that when teams is launched, the window never loads. The work around is to launch teams from terminal, disabling part of the sandbox:

teams --disable-seccomp-filter-sandbox

or

teams --no-sandbox

If screen sharing doesn't work, it is probably because you are using wayland instead of x11. Log out and change your desktop environment to an x11 variant.
