Can't download microsoft teams deb file

Question

does anyone know how to install teams on Ubuntu ? The official deb file is 404 link ?

Answer 1

Microsoft has abandoned making a full-fat desktop app for Teams.

Answer 2

Yes, now Microsoft has now removed the Teams deb file for Linux can refer to ms-teams-for-linux-not-available, here someone has posted the link to download teams .deb file its working, I have used this as well (for work & school accounts)

Link: https://web.archive.org/web/20221130115842/https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/ms-teams/pool/main/t/teams/teams_1.5.00.23861_amd64.deb

Other than this I guess you can simply install Teams (home/personal accounts) as Progressive Web App(PWA), I am using that via Edge (can do it in other browsers as well) just log in online in Teams account from a browser https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/microsoft-teams/log-in then install it as PWA

Now you will be able to find it on a PC as an application.

Answer 3

The official one is abandoned and you can't download. You might be able to get the deb package from archives but it may or may not work. Just go to calendar and click new meeting. You'll see a blank window. I'm a maintainer of the unofficial version (web version packed using electron). Reasonably active community and it's getting more and more active lately. Check out:

1. You can use the releases page in github repo and download the package of your choice. You have to manually download and update when there is a new release.
2. Or snap with auto update.
3. Or flatpak with auto update flatpak update
4. Or even download from deb ppa hosted at cloudsmith.

If you have queries, please ask question in the repo.

Answer 4

That is available as snap, I cannot find it as deb anymore. It looks available as flatpak too.

Snapstore.

Flathub.

The flatpak version is described as "unofficial", I guess both are.
