I was happy when MS finally released a MS Team for Linux officially. After several days, I my Linux laptop getting crashed every time it was on battery without charging cable. I thought it was Linux problem since I have just updated to Ubuntu 20.04.

Today I decided to look up for crash logs and guess what, Teams was mentioned in the crash log at that time. Tried to kill Teams ASAP after boot up, using my laptop smoothly until battery drained out.

Ha! Never know that an application running without root permission can crash you OS.

Hope that someone can help to file a bugreport.

    Hi BaLe-3864!

    Does this issue persist only on Ubuntu 20.10?

    Does anyone else have the same issue?

    In this case, we recommend you try to uninstall Teams for Linux app and install it manually by running the following commands:

    curl https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | sudo apt-key add -
    
    sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/ms-teams stable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/teams.list'
    
    sudo apt update
    sudo apt install teams
