I really don’t want to make a Microsoft account but many job interviews are held on Teams. I see that there is a web client which I will definitely use instead of the unofficial Flatpak for Linux.

If I create a Microsoft account with one of my privacy friendly emails (custom domain), would Microsoft start to receive the emails that that account receives? If so, would you suggest that I make a burner Microsoft account for this specific use case?

    If you use Linux, I’d recommend using teams-for-linux. It’s the web client, but in its own little box.

    If you really want to be anonymous, you can probably run this app over Tor with the command torify flatpak run com.github.IsmaelMartinez.teams_for_linux or torsocks flatpak run com.github.IsmaelMartinez.teams_for_linux; but occasionally this causes problems. It’s also not great for calls.
