How To Install Microsoft Teams on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Microsoft Teams on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. For those of you who didn’t know, Microsoft Teams is one of the globally used digital tools that allow remote and dispersed teams around the world to collaborate through individual and group chats, video meetings, document sharing, and many others. It is part of the Microsoft 365 suite and is developed by Microsoft. Microsoft Teams is available for multiple platforms such as Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android.

This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the Microsoft Teams on Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish). You can follow the same instructions for Ubuntu 22.04 and any other Debian-based distribution like Linux Mint.

Prerequisites

• A server running one of the following operating systems: Ubuntu 22.04, 20.04, and any other Debian-based distribution like Linux Mint.
• It’s recommended that you use a fresh OS install to prevent any potential issues.
• SSH access to the server (or just open Terminal if you’re on a desktop).
• A non-root sudo user or access to the root user. We recommend acting as a non-root sudo user, however, as you can harm your system if you’re not careful when acting as the root.
