How Reliable Is Microsoft Teams on Linux Mint?

I use Teams as a web app or PWA on Linux and haven’t had meaningful problems. It avoids relying on an unofficial desktop wrapper and keeps Teams isolated in the browser. For most users, this is probably the simplest option.

For basic video calls and group chats, Linux doesn’t seem noticeably worse than Windows. The bigger issue is Teams itself: reliability and feature support can be inconsistent on every platform. If you only need occasional meetings, the browser version should be sufficient.

There are unofficial Linux packages and wrappers that appear to work, but they aren’t official Microsoft clients. They can be convenient, although browser-based Teams is generally the safer and more maintainable choice. If your organization uses passkeys or unusual sign-in requirements, logging in may occasionally be awkward.

The browser version works well for basic meetings, calls, and chat. Several people find it just as reliable as the Windows desktop client, which can be problematic in its own right. Firefox on Mint should be fine for ordinary use, though advanced features such as transcription may vary.
