teams --no-sandbox doesn't work for me properly. Sure the teams app launches now, but I get these errors, no text loads and I can't join any meeting sadly:
{{::middleMessagesStripe.emptyStateTitle}}
{{::middleMessagesStripe.emptyStateMessage}}
My eternal hate for MS continues. Switching to Linux doesn't even help with truly getting away since my job requires ms teams..
Gonna have to stay on the browser version for the time being I guess...
@landaro teams --no-sandbox worked for me. Thanks for the tip!
I found this alternative solution which works for me: https://github.com/acran/teams-in-docker
maybe relevant: the AUR version of RStudio is also running on electron, is also currently facing a whitescreen on start-up issue, which can also be worked around with the --no-sandbox flag. The discussion over there is suspecting issues with qt5. Cross-linking https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rstudio-desktop-bin in case there is a common root cause
@gavinhungry thank you, it works fine. Would prefere to not install flatpak.
@gavinhungry you are right, I upgraded glibc. Hopefully I can just temporarily downgrade those 4 packages before next time I need to restart Teams. Sure the flatpak way is much cleaner. Maybe I will switch to that if needed.
For the current version (1.4.00.26453), you can pass the --no-sandbox argument to teams
Can confirm, this works for me as well. @ng0177 I faced the same problem as you did.
@ng0177 I stopped looking at solving things here, just using the flatpak version at this point...
It gets stuck on startup purple "Microsoft Team - Preview" window - since about two days... Any ideas?
@attila123:
I checked, and the enableProcessIntegrityLevel workaround only works for 1.4.00.7556 and 1.4.00.13653 (and probably earlier versions, as well).
For the current version (1.4.00.26453), you can pass the --no-sandbox argument to teams (which is part of what enableProcessIntegrityLevel is doing under the hood in any case). See https://no-sandbox.io for more information.
Flatpak is still probably the best workaround for most people. Much, much better than sticking to an out-of-date glibc.

@mluque Yes, it seems that Microsoft is doing the wrong thing and has deleted the packages from the repository. There are several open threads on this topic.
The truth is that since the announcement that Microsoft was going to withdraw the Teams client, one does not know what is going to happen. I hope they restore the files, but in the meantime I have uploaded the binaries here (they are the Arch packages, I don't have the original .deb packages but if someone passes them to me I can include them).

Please, before flag as Out-of-date perform a double check in versions. Version 1.4.00.4855 is higher than 1.3.00.30857, 1.3.00.5153 or 1.3.00.958.
If you doubt, please remember the math classes and perform a count 1, 2, 3, 4, ..., 958, 959, ..., 5152, 5153, 5154, ..., 30856, 30857, 30858, etc.
You can go to HERE, download DEB or RPM and compare versions
