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:
Loaded plugins: auto-update-debuginfo, fastestmirror, langpacks
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 do

 

Back 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....

      Update: Installing teams-insider package from the Ubuntu repository works.....so the Ubuntu repo says the same version as the debian package download from the previous link I posted yet they behave differently...
