M$ Teams installation fails on TW

I have been asked to join a private Teams discussion by my solicitor. I confidently went to the M$ site to download the files and ended up getting help from “The WindowsClub” which gave cli instructions to import the security key and requirements to run teams but sadly failed.

sudo rpm --import https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc

Does anybody have any knowledge or experience with this.
Sadly am posting here as my only hope. Fortunately I have a few days to get this working but would appreciate help please.

From a quote:

“In September 2022, Microsoft announced that they’d be retiring their Linux Teams client in December 2022 in favour of a new “Progressive Web Application” (PWA) version of Teams”

Might check on PWA.

OK thanks.

I have been having regular Teams meetings, but without downloading anything, just through a web link using Firefox:
[https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/microsoft-teams/join-a-meeting?rtc=1]
This is enough to enable you to join the meeting. The organiser needs to send you the meeting ID and passcode, as they would if it was a Zoom meeting.
