I downloaded the latest Teams client for linux but when I tried to login it says:

"We're still developing Teams for Linux
But if you'd like to join our small group of early adopters, select the button below and we'll put you on the list."

If I click on:
"I'm interested in using Teams"

It takes me here where it says teams should be open for everyone to use:

Am I missing something?

    Same issue for me. I'm using Pop!_OS (Ubuntu 19.10) with an enterprise Teams account.

    So, @OmarKhalidMSFT , in essence the Admin of our enterprise installation of Teams has to tick a box in settings that says "allow access from Linux OS remote clients"?

    Hi Jim-9915!
    What is your Linux OS version?
    Based on my knowledge, Teams for Linux can support the following Linux OS version:
    Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
    Fedora 30 Workstation
    RHEL 8 Workstation
    CentOS 8

    Thank you for trying Teams for Linux and for sharing your feedback @Jim . Would you mind going to https://admin.microsoft.com and creating a support request so our team can contact you? We will need to get logs from your machine to see what's going on.

    Hi,

    I am having the exact same issue on my RHEL 8 laptop. After I get signed in, the Teams application presents with a screen that says "We're still developing Teams for LInux". The title bar reads "Microsoft Teams - Access restricted".

    This is really important for my work from home. I tested last week and it worked fine on my RHEL 7 systems.

    I need this to work from my RHEL 8 laptop.

    Thanks,
    Brian
