I read this article and want to avoid the complicated procedure to get Microsoft Teams running on Ubuntu 18.04.

https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-Teams/TEAMS-and-LINUX-The-Future-is-Now/m-p/308382/highlight/true#M23115

Is there a simpler way?

Update 2021:

Follow the official docs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/get-clients#linux

On my Ubuntu 18.04.2 I installed it via the command :

sudo snap install teams-for-linux

( I did not understand the other answers completely
and the linked versions are older 0.2.1.
my install is 0.3 )

Install the debian package from the following repository!

You can use the following electron client:

You can do desktop and screen sharing and all the other basics (mentions, video and audio call, integrations, opening meeting links, etc)
