I downloaded the latest Teams client for linux but when I tried to login it says:

"We're still developing Teams for Linux
But if you'd like to join our small group of early adopters, select the button below and we'll put you on the list."

If I click on:
"I'm interested in using Teams"

It takes me here where it says teams should be open for everyone to use:

Am I missing something?

    Same issue here, only sporadically. It worked for about a day three weeks ago, then I got the "Access Restricted Error." Last week I was able to use the Insiders, and it worked great. Yesterday midday, I ran into problems, logged out, but then when I tried to log back in got the same error. I didn't change anything on my computer, so not sure what happened. The only issue I can see in the logs is this: "error -- preload: loading HID module failed "

    Also on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with the Microsoft Teams for Linux on teams/stable,now 1.3.00.5153 amd64 [installed] desktop version, we are seeing the same issue where it looks like something possibly with the organizations 2 Factor Authentication possibly with Office 365. The app was working perfectly fine last month for a while and then just stopped working with the "Microsoft Teams - Access Restricted" even on this latest stable release. Any clues?

    https://admin.microsoft.com/Adminportal/Home gives me an "You don’t have
    permission to access this page or perform this action." to post a support ticket.

    I'm having the same issue on Pop_OS! (Ubuntu 19.04). Very frustrating.

    I have the same issue on my desktop running KDE Neon (Ubuntu 18.04 based); both Teams and Teams-Insiders show the "We're still developing Teams for Linux" page. However, Teams is working properly on my laptop - which is also running KDE Neon.
