ms-teams-for-linux is a misleadingly named duplicate of teams-for-linux-bin, so the former is submitted for deletion.
The latter might not always get prompt updates, but people who are willing to help out should not create duplicate, parallel packages, but offer co-maintainership for that earlier-created and properly named one.
Anyone struggling with this package (e.g. screen sharing issues) just use https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ms-teams-for-linux-bin instead which is properly maintained at the latest version and based on the same upstream URL
Version 1.2.5 and newer fixes the screen sharing issue, but you have to build it yourself or wait.
@Mthw I am having the same issue with screen sharing.
Does screen sharing work correctly in the latest version? I've been using teams-for-linux for a while now. Never had issues, but today i tried to screen share 3 times and got 3 crashes. The PWA app using MS Edge works correctly.
@MarsSeed The links you provided build electron in the installation package, the only thing that it does at the end is to use other electron which could have compatibility issues if the compiled version is not the same as the used version. If you find a way to not compile any electron version and use the provided one please let me know.
This latest version - 1.1.8-1 - released 6-29 - does not work for me. It installed fine - but as soon as I log in I get this message that this version is only for schools/work kind of thing. I installed the git version and it works.
Seems like it only works if I install xdg-desktop-portal-gnome
Please don't build the bundled Electron source.
Use one of the electron packages as dependency.
You can take a look at the PKGBUILD of this AUR package for a hint on how to strip out the included Electron from the build.
@frealgagu if you're not finding time to update, let me know, I'll have it updated. Let me know how can I help.

Before marking the package out of date, please first check that the new version is not a pre-release. I'm tracking releases, not pre-releases.
