How to install Microsoft Teams via pacman for arch linux?
Microsoft Teams is also available for linux. I have problems to get an easy installation for arch. Teams is not listed in official package manager for pacman?
I found only DEB and RPM for official download packages from Microsoft: https://products.office.com/en-us/microsoft-teams/download-app
a) using makepg and install package
Clone teams arch git repository (PKGBUILD)
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/teams.git .
Build package using makepkg and install using -si option
makepkg -si
See also: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/teams/
b) alternatively use yay as package manager to easy install aur packages
if yay not installed
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
cd yay
makepkg -si
Use yay to install aur package
yay -S teams
yay is not available through pacman for me.
Posting this as an answer though it is really an addendum to @SmaMa post.
As at 3/3/2022 the AUR package is broken on Linux archi7 5.16.11-arch1-1 but the fix is

Edit /usr/bin/teams and modify the line:
nohup "$TEAMS_PATH" "$@" --disable-namespace-sandbox --disable-setuid-sandbox > "$TEAMS_LOGS/teams-startup.log" 2>&1 &
to include the new option --disable-seccomp-filter-sandbox:
nohup "$TEAMS_PATH" "$@" --disable-seccomp-filter-sandbox --disable-namespace-sandbox --disable-setuid-sandbox > "$TEAMS_LOGS/teams-startup.log" 2>&1 &
Just run the following commands
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/teams.git
cd teams
makepkg -si
ms teams will be installed.
snap install teams also works.
I was trying teams-for-linux from AUR (reference https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/teams-for-linux) and I've been getting an error in the installation. The error was about couldn't solve some dependencies.
I solved this by commenting (adding a # at the beginning of the line) the makedepends. Through the installation process via makepkg -si I've been asked to choose between three node versions, but my already-installed node version satisfies the constraints of the package. Commenting it out and running makepk -si has installed successfully.
I picked teams-for-linux because the official teams does not work for me.
I just installed with yay -S teams and got some crippled beta preview that doesn't even work. It redirected me to the web version which doesn't work in Firefox. (only chrome/edge are supported).
