I used Teams on Linux recently in Chrome since Microsoft doesn't seem to offer a native client download any more and it ran fine, audio and video. I didn't notice any sluggishness.

Ubuntu semi-annual release? I only upgrade every 2 years when the new LTS comes out. Disabling snap is a small pain but other than that, no issues.
