The preferred way to use Microsoft Teams in Linux in the future is via the progressive webapp (PWA). You can use webapps with Edge and Chrome browsers. Both are installed by default in Cubbli. For Microsoft Teams, and other Microsoft applications, we recommend installing the PWAs through Microsoft Edge.

Note: Outlook is also available as a progressive webapp. The same procedure applies.

Example of setup with Edge:
