    You can download the package here https://teams.microsoft.com/download, double click and follow the package manager instructions.

    Installation can be executed from GUI or from terminal. When installation from GUI fails, it is a good idea to attempt the same action from the terminal where more verbose errors can be issued and more details obtained to unblock the installation.

    Debian based distributions (.deb)

    Install using apt:

    sudo apt install ./teams-insiders_1.2.00.26154_amd64.deb  
    

    RPM based distributions (.rpm)

    Option 1 - Using rpm:

    sudo rpm -i ./teams-insiders-1.2.00.26154-1.x86_64.rpm  
    

    Option 2 - Using yum (Recommended):

    sudo yum install ./teams-insiders-1.2.00.26154-1.x86_64.rpm  
    

    Dependencies issues can be similar to dpkg, rpm will try to install the package, but can complain about unmet dependencies, alternative is to use yum which will try to resolve the dependencies automatically.

    So, May 2024, and the PWA from Edge advertises this :
    install_teams

    .. and no, of course there is no App. So if you are grandfathered in on the app, use it until you can't.
    Browsers, including PWA are problematic. If I change accounts in Teams, Outlook freezes. This is just a kick in the teeth, and should have been suppressed for the OS.

    It seems that is a recurrent question.
    Official Teams app was retired from Snapcraft at the end of 2022.
    It appears that Microsoft stopped to create Linux app packages on the same time period.
    There are third party websites that might host .deb or .rpm outdated packages, however there is hard to determine if they are "official" copies.

    At this point there is a project on Canonical Snapcraft:

    Teams for Linux Unofficial Microsoft Teams client for Linux using Electron. It uses the Web App and wraps it as a standalone application using Electron. https://snapcraft.io/teams-for-linux
