This problem is back AGAIN in 2023 in Teams version 1.5.00.23861 on Linux (Ubuntu).

Invitation links won't open anymore on my desktop app... the "Join On The Teams App" button on the website does NOT work and then quickly redirects to the web-interface to join the meeting....

I have tried to downgrade to an older version of Microsoft Teams... but Microsoft deleted all 1.4.00.* and 1.3.00.* versions from their repository. So there is no way to downgrade right now to resolve this problem.

Unbelievable that this is not caught by any tests...

    For people trying to launch teams from the command line with the URL as argument replacing https:// with teams:// at the start, it does not work. Neither from the wrapper script /usr/bin/teams nor from the executable at /usr/share/teams/teams.

    I'm having the exact same issue on ubuntu 22.04 with teams 1.5.00.23861.

    In addition to the above issues, I am getting an undefined error on the app.
