The important bit:

Those joining from unsupported platforms will be automatically placed in audio-only mode to protect shared content.

And I presume everything except Windows 11 Teams will be considered “unsupported”.

i trust signing in through the browser on linux will be supported since that's the official way to use teams on linux

except on firefox of course, because fuck you for even trying to protect a little bit of your privacy

I use Edge on Linux for working with Microsoft stuff on my corporate laptop. For everything else I use Firefox there. Privacy preserved, basically.

Privacy preserved, basically.

only if the browser cannot run in the background, and it cannot access any of your fikes, the DBus of your regular user's session, and other facilities

You lock it with flatpak as much as you can. Also, don't keep it running if not needed.

Also, don't keep it running if not needed.

can you enforce that with flatpak? I often see the notification that "X program is still running in the background" or something similar, but the flatpak permission settings did not seem to have such a setting

No but, you can just close it.
