My currently installed/working version is:
# rpm -qa | grep teams
teams-1.4.00.7556-1.x86_64
and when I attempt a yum update, I get:

So Teams now needs a newer version of libstdc++ than that in RHEL7. As
others have mentioned, Microsoft clearly do not understand how to
package software using RPM and you are probably better off with a
snap/flatpak solution.
