Progressive Web App (PWA) to Replace the Linux App Teams Linux App We are committed to helping all current customers on Linux start using the PWA app we’ll publish guidance once we are closer to releasing this feature.

All users on the Microsoft Teams Linux desktop client will have to transition to the web or PWA version, which is where we will continue to invest our development resources. The notice mentions: We will be retiring the Microsoft Teams desktop client on Linux in 90 days (early December), which is currently available in public preview. Probably as one of the internal admin notices (via Hacker News). However, this news was potentially spotted by an administrator using Microsoft Teams.

I also searched around to see if Microsoft makes the PWA installation package available anywhere at this time.

I uninstalled the app and tried installing again I saw the following: However, clicking the "Learn MOre" link on that page is a circular reference and does not take you to any instructions to install on Linux or download the. I also found a link that states: Microsoft Teams progressive web app now available on Linux I also notice that when search for information about Teams that I find the latest MS documentation doesn't mention how to install on Linux: I'm attempting to run MS Teams on Ubuntu 22.04 as I have for many months now and suddenly I get an error that states "Operation failed with unexpected error."
