How to login on Desktop application with Linux?

I have followed the instructions on the link to get the desktop for Teams (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/get-clients) to install the MS Teams Application on Ubuntu-based Linux. When I log in, the application displays a message "We are still developing Teams for Linux" and offers to put me on a list. It also provides a link back to the one above. According to that link, it should be available for use. Am I missing a step to get the Teams Application working? I have been using the web client, but it is limited and my office is using Teams for many of their meetings.

Thank you for your time and assistance to resolve this issue.

Hello,
Looks like snap application is missing in your Linux version. Install it by the following command:

 sudo snap install teams-for-linux

Regards,
Manu

I do not know if this would resolve the issue, but I resolved it by doing apt list teams* and looking for options. The teams-insiders application showed up and tried that. It worked perfectly.

I'm having the same message on both teams and teams-insider. This has happened every few months. Recently had my password changed and now I authenticate but get this same message. Browser version works fine. I've held off making a forum profile just for this but being a reoccurring issue obviously need more people to complain to get this resolved.
