MS Teams on Linux Still Telling Me Not Open to Public
Hi All,
My office is transitioning away from Skype for Business and into Teams against my recommendation. The only upside is that according to various sources, Teams is available on Linux which I run natively on all of my home systems. I went ahead and installed after reading that it's open to public, does not require special rights, and is ready for use. As soon as I installed and logged into my account I hit this screen:
Suggestions appreciated as I'd love to be able to use my home computer instead of dragging my work laptop back and forth from the office.
jmadero It definitely works properly with the latest client, it does really look like you've got an old one.
- I installed the one linked to me by KevinCallanan and hit the same error. The web based app does not detect my mic (video works fine although it doesn't permit split screen with 4 people on video at a time).
And now more good news. Uninstalling Teams broke my mic in Zoom.....this is alpha software at best....really frustrated.
jmadero have you tried deploying the public preview .deb / .rpm files?

I am having the same problem, running under Centos 7.
I had originally installed teams-1.3.00.958-1.x86_64.rpm on March 18.
I have downloaded the current latest, teams-1.3.00.5153-1.x86_64.rpm, but YUM claims it's not an update:
sudo yum install usr/src/teams-1.3.00.5153-1.x86_64.rpm
[sudo] password for rsindlin:

Examining usr/src/teams-1.3.00.5153-1.x86_64.rpm: teams-1.3.00.5153-1.x86_64
usr/src/teams-1.3.00.5153-1.x86_64.rpm: does not update installed package.
Error: Nothing to doBack in November, I saw that Teams was not supported for Centos 7, but more recent announcements have not included that caveat.
I did a complete uninstall and a reinstall with a new download from here: https://products.office.com/en-us/microsoft-teams/download-app#desktopAppDownloadregion
got back to the "we're still still developing Teams for Linux" - this is from the debian package.....
Microsoft should just open source this application so the Linux community can fix these problems....
KevinCallanan I purged everything and then downloaded the debian and installed. Same error
jmadero I don't have a Linux VM currently to test but it looks like based on the UserVoice Teams on Linux is officially supported now and was released mid-February:

As an alternative (not ideal) the Teams Web Client is fully functional: https://teams.microsoft.com
