Hi All

I run Ubuntu 22.04 with classic Teams. As of right now, Microsoft Teams' classic Teams client will no longer be available. I'll be aware of this so that I can continue using teams. Is there a Teams update available for Linux Ubuntu?

    Hello

    Microsoft has discontinued the classic Microsoft Teams client for Linux. The newer Microsoft Teams client is available for Linux, including Ubuntu.

    To ensure that you continue to have access to Microsoft Teams on Ubuntu 22.04, you should install the newer Microsoft Teams client. Here's how you can do it:

    Download Microsoft Teams for Linux:

    Visit the official Microsoft Teams website: [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/microsoft-teams/download-app](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/microsoft-teams/download-app)
    
       Select "Linux (DEB)" as the download option.
      
          Click on the "Download Teams for Linux DEB" button to download the .deb package.
         
    

    Install Microsoft Teams:

    Once the .deb package is downloaded, open a terminal window.

    Navigate to the directory where the .deb package is located.

    Use the following command to install Microsoft Teams:
    
     ```yaml
     cssCopy code
     sudo dpkg -
     
     ```
     
     Replace **`<package_name>`** with the actual name of the .deb package file you downloaded.
