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Please, before flag as Out-of-date perform a double check in versions.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

It seems, that with the current version it is not possible to join a teams meeting via URL. The website pops up and if I select to open the meeting with xdg-open teams gets the focus like doing something but joining the meeting is not happening.

Voted!

Everyone who can please cast a vote at https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/a75f6ded-438e-ec11-a81b-0022484c51ef. This is only a login and one click away and takes mere seconds. At the time of writing this, the issue is at 425 votes, putting it at page 49 (!!!) in the feedback list. There is ZERO chance Microsoft is going to even notice if it's busy implementing useless clap like DTMF tones (490), GIF avatars (680) or the poop emoji (940 votes). The important things seem to start upwards of 1000 votes and it should not be too far away to get in their company if we really try.

@jorge_barroso please, before posting read pinned comments. Say that 1.4.00.7556 is a newer version than current one (at moment of write this comment 1.4.00.26453) is FUD.

But if you doubt about latest version of Teams, you can go to Microsoft Teams download page and download the lastest DEB or RPM version. What version download?

@jorge_barroso, as per @ogarcia's pinned comments, "WARNING: PLEASE STOP FLAG THIS PACKAGE AS OUT OF DATE teams_1.4.00.7556_amd64.deb IS LOWER THAN CURRENT VERSION"

Microsoft adopts a misleading versioning scheme.

@jorge_barroso What are these quality of life improvements? Thanks for the patch!

The newest version seems to include a couple of quality of life improvements, plus fixes it for the latest version of either wayland on electron (don't know which one, but the current one stopped working for me after a recent update and the latest fixes it)

Here's a simple patch for it, nothing too crazy, just sha256 and version number updated:

If you put any switches like --disable-seccomp-filter-sandbox or --no-sandbox in your [custom] Teams desktop file, make sure they go after %U or clicking meeting links won't work. Known bug in Teams: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5713/how-to-join-teams-meetings-from-linux-client.html

@jvybihal: I pick some of your summary to add in the pinned comment ;-)

@jvybihal: thanks for the resume. Adding the --disable-seccomp-filter-sandbox option makes everything work again. Web browser is not a viable alternative for me, I use Firefox and voice calls don't work with it. I'll try to report to Microsoft as well.
