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?

    It had been working fine on Ubuntu 19.10 for the past month or so, but when I tried to use it today, I started getting this error too.

    I'm having the same message on both teams and teams-insider. This has happened every few months. Recently had my password changed and now I authenticate but get this same message. Browser version works fine. I've held off making a forum profile just for this but being a reoccurring issue obviously need more people to complain to get this resolved.

    I got this error this morning, on Team running on Ubuntu 18.04 (x64). That being said, I could resolve this by uninstalling the "teams" deb package, and installing the "teams-insider" deb package from the Microsoft Debian / Ubuntu apt repository. Note the version of the teams client, from both the "teams" and "teams-insider" packages are the same (i.e. currently 1.3.00.16851).

    To do this on Debian / Ubuntu, uninstall "teams" (i.e. "sudo apt remove teams"), then -

    curl https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | sudo apt-key add -

    sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/ms-teams stable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/teams.list'

    sudo apt update

    sudo apt install teams-insider
