In my experience, Teams, even with the official Linux app (Electron-based) simply doesn't work on Linux, just like Skype for Enterprise didn't work before. Had an appointment the other week with a customer, and had to resort to dial-in with audio-only. I guess you need a corporate account or something, but Teams wouldn't say. When I wanted to start a video call, an error message would flash up briefly, like 100ms, so you can't read it - typically MS, I thought, shrugged, and deinstalled the app, for it to be never installed again. That was for a .deb-based package; a snap wouldn't even install. Regular Skype, OTOH, has worked for like 15 years.

On Mint 20.1, both Teams app and webapp works. Might be dependent on distro/versions. It's still slow and bloated, so I quit it at EOD.

  On latest Ubuntu it is unusable. Consistently takes over 50% CPU and makes everything slow.

  On Fedora 31/32 was working fine (with corporate account). After the call was over ctrl+q wouldn't stop it from running, therefore I'd completely remove it with pkill teams

IME Teams on Linux will occasionally completely freeze the entire OS on startup. Sometimes it recovers after 15 mins or so, sometimes it needs the machine to be physically powered off / on to recover.

  If that can happen it's clearly an OS bug. Maybe something like an unstable driver?
