yes painful but some companies force this user to… going the flatpak way as snapd is a catastrophe that messes too much with the system (not UNIX KISS)

get OS up to date

su - root; # become root
apt update
apt install flatpak
# logoff root (no one wants teams to run as root)
Ctrl+D
# as non-root user
flatpak --user remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak --user update
flatpak --user install flathub com.github.IsmaelMartinez.teams_for_linux
# start
flatpak run com.github.IsmaelMartinez.teams_for_linux

essentially ms teams is a website running in a program like framework

how to update it?

flatpak update

This updates all installed Flatpak applications and runtimes. Confirm the changes when prompted.

For a non-interactive update:

bash

flatpak update -y

To update only the current user’s Flatpaks:

bash

flatpak --user update

To remove unused runtimes afterward:

bash

flatpak uninstall --unused

how to remove it?

flatpak uninstall com.github.IsmaelMartinez.teams_for_linux

thanks all involved and of course note the alternatives… https://dwaves.de/2026/09/03/how-to-install-ms-teams-in-debian-13/
