Arch Linux User Repository

@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Please, before flag as Out-of-date perform a double check in versions.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

@jat255 and anyone else with this problem:

PROBLEM: After login I get: "Access restricted / We're still developing Teams for Linux / Thank you."

SOLUTION: I copied Ubuntu's /etc/os-release file to my system. Re-start Teams.

Can confirm this package uses excessive cpu at times. Judging by M$'s history I would not doubt the claims. I'm not starting any debates though :-)

@zehph, are you sure you are not talking about the other teams package? https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/teams-for-linux/

That one would act the way you describe when I had it installed. This one, however, doesn't use nearly as much cpu.

@zehph if you have any clue about mining with ms-teams, report upstream, if not, please don't spread FUD

I've checked the PKGBUILD and it didn't appear to have anything wrong, but after installed it was consuming too much CPU and the computer would get hot af and the fans would slow down as soon as I closed teams... I didn't say anything because I have no evidence, but I've dusted off my tinfoil hat and removed the package from my system.

Basically said, this PKGBUILD just takes .deb package provided by Microsoft, and unzips it into your filesystem.

You can inspect the package by donwloading it from https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/ms-teams/pool/main/t/teams/teams_1.3.00.5153_amd64.deb and open it in archive manager of your choice (for example File Roller, engrampa, Ark, etc.).

I don't get what you are trying to say about bitcoin and other stuff. If you dont like binaries provided, shout @ Microsoft.

Anyone else noticed the spikes in processor usage and references to a renderer with a flag to disable a function to spare said renderer and another saying token? I then "grep'd" for bitcoin and I found references in timeshift pointing to /usr/share/teams if I'm not mistaken, I can't verify the paths anymore because I uninstalled the package, but someone more savyy with this kind of stuff should REALLY give a thourough look on this package, because I could almost fry an egg on my notebook If I left Teams open for too long!

Does this version support dynamic backgrounds for video chats?

As others have said like webcam and mic to not work after a clean build. For me, It was able to detect webcam and mic out of the box under Dell Inspiron 13 7000 Series.

The app has a slight problem, at least in the 2 WM that I've used (I3 and DWM) the app doesn't close to tray, and the close button doesn't work. The only ways so it will always be in a Workspace/Tag or I have to kill, but then I don't get notifications, obviously.
