No, you had it right. It's the inherent limitation of MS Teams!

Ali Teams is indeed pretty bad. It should be an embarrassment for Microsoft (they know this, see the recent M+A news) and similar that discord - the app aimed really only at gamers - actually works and their serious business tools don't.

If you want the desktop application, you might want to try the Nix package: https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=20.09&show=teams&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&query=teams . At least on Nixos and XFCE desktop it works. But setting up the Microsoft account definitely was not my favorite experience either. It asks some strange questions feeling like the app was only for those already in business with Microsoft.

And I'm actually not sure you would need an MS account, and even if you needed - it's free, and doesn't require you install any MS products.
