Install MS Teams on linux

For certain situations using teams might be very essential. Right now I am dealing with different kind of government related officials and their way of communication, especially when going through documents together with screen sharing, is MS TEAMS.

I personally prefer Telegram, Signal, Jitsi, Apache.Openmeetings or any open source free service. Full web integration might be time to time itchy, but in most cases, if the client has a well working Firefox, Edge or Chrome, they work fine.

NOTE:In browsers WEB-RTC must be turned ON/Enable for online video calls!
I usually have this disabled due to IP leaks and vulnerabilities.

"A WebRTC leak occurs when the WebRTC protocol inadvertently exposes a user's actual IP address. These leaks typically happen due to the STUN (Session Traversal Utilities for NAT) requests that WebRTC uses to discover the public IP of devices behind a NAT firewall !"

If you did not want to install TEAMs, you can use it in a web browser as client or host too, if had an MS account !

Otherwise, the answer is yes, you can install it on any linux device. Here is what I do for debian based distros. I personally don't use Ubuntu, but it will work on that too. On my main machine I run Debian, have a Mint laptop and another small notebook with Fedora, what would be slightly different.
