1. Install Snapd tool
To install MS teams, we first need to have Snapd installed on our system. Snaps are applications that are packaged with their dependencies to run on all Linux distros just from a single build. Snapd is a tool that is used to install these applications. Let's install Snapd with the help of the following command:
$ sudo pacman -S snapd2. Enable Snapd socket

$ sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket3. Create a link to enable snap support
Now, we will enable classic snap support. It can be done by creating a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap with the below command:
$ sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap4. Install MS Teams on the system
