The repo should be: [teams] name=teams baseurl=https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/ms-teams enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc On a system with Fedora 34 I run without problems teams-1.4.00.13653-1.x86_64 using that repo. Unfortunately the repo itself is distro agnostic in the sense that I see the flat baseurl=https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/ms-teams inside it and there is no check about distro (this I think was the note about "not understanding how to package software" pointed out by Phil) If I go to an updated CentOS 7.9 system without teams and put the repo file I get this, as other detailed before: yum install teams . . .

Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package teams.x86_64 0:1.4.00.7556-1 will be installed --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved I don't know if there is a yum option or config parameter to say yum to choose the best version, without depsolve problems, even if not the latest available (in this case teams-1.4.00.7556-1) among the ones found inside a repo.... For sure they could have at least created with minimal effort a tree structure with distro versions and links to corresponding rpm packages, and then use the distroversion and not flat url inside the repo file. And inside the directory for el7 the latest package would have been teams-1.4.00.7556-1, while on CentOS 8 and Fedora I would find also the teams-1.4.00.13653-1 Gianluca
