First install Virtualbox on Debian.

Then use the link I provided to create a Windows 10 ISO. Take another look at the documentation, it'll work. In the attached screenshot you can see I've started a download of 64 bit Windows 10 while running Linux.

Then launch Virtualbox and use the Windows 10 ISO to make a VM. I've done this on Debian. Once you have a Windows 10 VM you can run Teams.

What @hitest has just said will work perfectly. "VirtualBox runs on every platform." Simply buy a copy of Windows, if necessary, and then use VirtualBox to install and run it on your system. Now, Teams is running in the environment that it was intended for ... and it's doing so "in a window."

Online version works with Brave browser on Debian, MX, antiX, Salix, Slackware and Fedora...just tried them.

ahh, just reread OP, Debian oldstable, my test was on 12/Bookworm.

I used the above tutorial I posted to install and launch a Windows 10 VM on Debian 12.2.0 with Virtualbox 7.0.

What have you set your browser strings to?

When I go to that page I get two download buttons. One for a 32 bit iso, the other for a 64 bit iso.

If you set your browser string to any version of Windows, you'll get a link to the media creation tool... as you have seen!

It runs on oldtable on edge, as I posted earlier in the thread.

It will probably run on latest chrome as well. The desktop client will eventually be discontinued anyway, as that's the direction MS are moving in.

This whole self indulgent masturbation session about running Windows 10 in a VM is just a pointless tangent.
