Can not start up Teams for Linux cookie error

I cannot start up Teams for Linux. After login in i get a scree that says i have to change my browser settings to allow 3th party coookies. I did change that settings (*.microsoftonline.com) but teams for Linux will still not start up. What do i have to do?

    Klaas_Tjibbe try this workaround:

    sqlite3 ~/.config/Microsoft/Microsoft\ Teams/Cookies
    sqlite> DELETE FROM cookies;

    Then restart Teams for Linux.

    I hope this helps.

    When i startup teams with sudo ( "sudo teams")  then teams starts. It looks like it has something to do with rights?

    I do not understand what you mean with the download link. I allowed serveral sites for 3th party cookies. 

    I changed my default browser from chrome to firefox. (als with these sites allowed for 3th party cookies).

    I had this issue on a Mac last week. You can get around this by going straight to the download link for the desktop app. Alternatively, you will need to allow cookies for skype.com as well.
