Ubuntu 16.04 LTS - teams_1.3.00.5153_amd64.deb broken on install

Question

This does not work from the Terminal any longer to do the install....

greg@greg-pc:~/Downloads$ ls teams* -al

Any idea when a new version will be released which will support the terminal install based on the instructions Microsoft shows for doing this install so it works this way on the install instead of using a package manager? The previous 1.2X version seemed to work perfectly fine....

Answer 1

Then after the user clicks on the I'm interested in using Teams button they are displayed with the following screen I have attached and their web browser opens to the https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/16911565-linux-client page. Any idea what is causing this behavior?

Answer 2

Hi Greg-7340,

You can execute the following command to install the app:

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  

For more details, please refer to this link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/get-clients.

Or, you can install Microsoft Teams in Ubuntu software.

Answer 3

Thanks! The software installs fine now but when we logon, we see the Microsoft Teams - Access restricted screen. I've attached a screenshot. This was working previously fine in my organization last month but then all of a sudden over the past several days I cannot access the apps anymore. Any ideas with a user having a valid Office 365 signs in and then get's this screen?
