How to install Microsoft Teams on Linux

Microsoft Teams collaboration app is now available on Linux, and these are the steps to install it.

UPDATED 6/6/2023: If you’re required to use a Linux distribution (such as Ubuntu, Debian, or Red Hat), you no longer need to use Windows 11 (or Windows 10) to connect with colleagues at work since Microsoft Teams is also available on Linux.

However, Microsoft has dropped the Teams apps for Linux in favor of the Progressive Web App (WPA) version of the service, which can also install on your computer for a more traditional experience.

Once you download and install the Microsoft Teams app, you can access all the same features available with the app on Windows, including chat, video meetings, calling, and collaboration on Office documents from your Microsoft 365 and business subscriptions within a single interface.

In the past, Microsoft provided a public download for Teams apps from the Microsoft Teams official page, but that’s no longer the case. However, you can still download a standalone application from the operating system’s app store, such as Ubuntu Software, or commands through the Snap store, or you can use the Progressive Web App (WPA) version of the service, which can also install on your computer for a more traditional experience.

This guide will teach you the steps to install Microsoft Teams on Linux.

Install Microsoft Teams on Ubuntu Linux (official)

To install the Microsoft Teams web app on Linux with Google Chrome or Edge, use these steps:

Sign in with your Teams account credentials.

Choose the channel.

Click the Continue button.

Click the Install button (next to the URL).

Click the Install button again.

After you complete the steps, the Teams web app will install on the devices, offering you support for more capabilities, including custom backgrounds, gallery view, reactions, the raise-a-hand feature in meetings, as well as large gallery and Together mode views.

Install Microsoft Teams package on Ubuntu Linux (discontinued)

The Microsoft Teams app was available through various Linux app stores and repositories using the “apt” and “snap” commands, but the company has discontinued those methods in favor of the web app (instructions above).

I’m leaving the instructions below for reference.

Install Teams on Ubuntu Linux (discontinued)

To install the Microsoft Teams app on Ubuntu Linux, use these steps:

1. Open Ubuntu Software store.
2. Search for Microsoft Teams from the top-left corner.
3. Select the stable version of the Teams client.
4. Click the Install button.

Once you complete the steps, Microsoft Teams will install and be available from the app menu.

To install the Teams app with commands, use these steps:

1. Open Terminal.
2. Type the following command and press Enter:

After you complete the steps, the application will install on your Linux distribution. After the process, you can open the app by typing teams in the Terminal or from the app launcher.

Microsoft Teams can be installed on PCs, Macs, and mobile devices, and can also be accessed via a web browser. Most end users can start using Teams just by installing the client themselves. After they install the Teams client, all they need to do is sign in with their username and password.

If you’re an IT Pro and want to know more about the Teams installation experience and its requirements, select a client operating system in this article for more information.

For information about each client’s capabilities on different platforms, see Teams features by platform.

Desktop clients

The new Microsoft Teams desktop client is available in preview. The minimum system requirements are different. For more information, see The new Microsoft Teams desktop client

The Teams desktop client is available as a standalone application and as part of Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise for the following operating systems:

• 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows (8.1 or later, excluding Windows 10 LTSC)
• ARM64 for Windows 10 on ARM
• Windows Server (2012 R2 or later)
• macOS
• Chrome OS (For more information, see How to use Microsoft Office on a Chromebook)

Desktop clients can be downloaded and installed by end users directly from https://teams.microsoft.com/downloads if they have the appropriate local permissions. Administrator permissions aren’t required to install the Teams client on Windows PCs but are required on Macs.

IT Pros can choose their preferred method to distribute the installation files to computers in their organization. Some examples include Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (Windows) or Jamf Pro (macOS). For more information about distributing Teams, see:

Distribution of the client via these mechanisms is only for the initial installation of Teams clients and not for future updates. For information about the Teams update process, see Teams update process.

Watch the following session to learn about the benefits of the Windows Desktop Client, how to plan for it, and how to deploy it: Teams Windows Desktop Client

Teams on Windows provides downloadable MSI installers in 32-bit, 64-bit, and ARM64 architectures. The x86 architecture (32 bit vs. 64 bit) of Teams is agnostic to the architecture of Windows and Office that is installed. We recommend the 64-bit version of Teams on 64-bit systems.

Teams requires .NET Framework 4.5 or later. If .NET Framework 4.5 or later isn’t installed, the Teams installer will offer to install for you.

The Windows client is deployed to the AppData folder located in the user’s profile. Deploying to the user’s local profile allows the client to be installed without requiring elevated permissions. The Windows client uses the following locations:

• %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Teams
• %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\TeamsMeetingAddin
• %AppData%\Microsoft\Teams
• %LocalAppData%\SquirrelTemp

When users initiate a call using the Teams client for the first time, they might notice a warning with the Windows firewall settings that ask for users to allow communication. Users might be instructed to ignore this message because the call will work even when the warning is dismissed.

Windows Firewall configuration will be altered. Two inbound rules for teams.exe for both TCP and UDP protocols will be created with:

• Allow action, in case the user is a local administrator and selects Allow access only.
• Block action, if the user isn’t a local administrator and, in any case, when the prompt is dismissed by selecting Cancel.

If you want to prevent Teams from prompting users to create firewall rules when the users make their first call from Teams, use the PowerShell script in Sample script — Microsoft Teams firewall PowerShell script.

Mac users can install Teams by using a PKG installation file for macOS computers. Administrative access is required to install the Mac client. The macOS client is installed to the /Applications folder.

1. From the Teams download page, under Mac, select Download.
2. Double-click the PKG file.
3. Follow the installation wizard to complete the installation. Teams will be installed to the /Applications folder. It’s a machine-wide installation.

During the installation, the PKG will prompt for administrator credentials. The user needs to enter the administrator credentials, regardless of whether or not the user is an administrator.

If a user currently has a DMG installation of Teams and wants to replace it with the PKG installation, the user should:

IT Pros can use a managed deployment solution, such as Jamf Pro, to distribute the Teams installation files to all Macs in their organization.

Mobile clients

The Teams mobile apps are available for Android and iOS; are geared for on-the-go users participating in chat-based conversations; and allow peer-to-peer audio calls. For mobile apps, go to the relevant mobile stores Google Play and the Apple App Store.

Supported mobile platforms for Teams mobile apps are:

• Android: Support is limited to the last four major versions of Android. When a new major version of Android is released, the new version and the previous three versions are officially supported.
• iOS: Support is limited to the two most recent major versions of iOS. When a new major version of iOS is released, the new version of iOS and the previous version are officially supported.

The mobile version must be available to the public for Teams to work as expected.

Mobile apps are distributed and updated through the respective mobile platform’s app store only. Distribution of the mobile apps via MDM or side-loading isn’t supported by Microsoft. Once the mobile app has been installed on a supported mobile platform, the Teams Mobile App itself will be supported, provided the version is within three months of the current release.

If you’re in China, you can install Teams from the following app stores:

• Xiaomihttps://aka.ms/TeamsXiaomi
• Huaweihttps://aka.ms/TeamsHuawei
• Oppo Search for «Teams» in the Oppo store
• Baiduhttps://aka.ms/teams_baidu_direct_dl

When users install Teams from one of the China-based Android app stores and enable push notifications for Teams, Microsoft will provide Teams push notifications through a China-based push notification service. Currently, Microsoft supports push notifications in Xiaomi phones. Hence, you must enable the push notifications in the Xiaomi phones. For information on how to do it, see How to make Teams push notifications work in your Xiaomi phone?.

Browser client

The browser client (https://teams.microsoft.com) is a full, functional client that can be used from various browsers. The browser client supports Calling and Meetings by using webRTC; so there’s no plug-in or download required to run Teams in a browser. The browser must be configured to allow third-party cookies.

Teams fully supports the following Internet browsers, with noted exceptions for calling and meetings. This table applies to operating systems running on desktop computers.

Sharing: Incoming sharing only (no outgoing)

Sharing: Incoming sharing only (no outgoing)

1 To give and take control of shared content during sharing, both parties must be using the Teams desktop client. Control isn’t supported when either party is running Teams in a browser. This is due to a technical limitation that we’re planning to fix.

2 Teams meetings on browsers are limited to a single stream; either incoming video feed of the current speaker or screen sharing.

3 Edge RS2 or later doesn’t support sending real-time audio and video traffic through HTTP proxies.

Running Teams in a browser is supported on PCs and Macs that meet the minimum Hardware requirements for Microsoft Teams. For example, running Firefox on the Linux operating system is an option for using Teams.

On mobile devices we recommend that you use the Teams app. The Teams app is available from the Android and iOS stores.

The browser client performs browser version detection upon connecting to https://teams.microsoft.com. If an unsupported browser version is detected, it will block access to the browser interface and recommend that the user downloads the desktop client or mobile app.
