When you say they work without issues, how do you mean that?
For me, i'm using Gnome specifically because i can easily change the headset profile of my Bose QC35 II from 'High Fidelity Playback' which has no microphone but better sound quality to profile 'Headset Head Unit' with the extension 'Sound Output & Input Device Chooser' [1]
But then again I use MS Teams on a Windows 10 VM via VirtualBox.
The Teams client for Linux has been working fine for me. Video, lots of users in a meeting, shared desktops have all worked without a problem.
The only issue has been my microphone quality. Maybe I have missed some configuration to make it better. I generally do not use a microphone.
My current method is to join Teams meeting both on my laptop (Linux app) and on my phone. I use the phone for audio (the microphone being the reason for the phone). It actually works very well. But I want to ditch the telephone...
