I needed to change my work password twice already because I accidentally sent it to somebody when Teams suddenly popped up and took focus away from my VPN client and I hit enter.

This also makes it impossible to resize the window. Well, sometimes. There are times when it works, and I have no idea what makes it work.
Thankfully, I usually use Qubes OS which doesn't let programs do these user-hostile things.

As a workaround, I'm pretty sure that KDE supports Alt (or meta) + right click for resizing.

KDE lets you resize compliant windows in this way, but Microsoft Teams for GNU/Linux is not compliant -- and consequently this does not work.

You can outright prohibit applications from starting on the foreground on KDE.
I wouldn't even try running Teams on Linux, as I'm sure it's an endless source of frustration (much more intense than on Windows or on the browser). But the one nice thing of Linux is that you can force apps to behave.
A/V issues, navigation, inability to find an existing conversation / conference (happening now on another computer) on a GNU/Linux machine, etc are almost secondary.
