This issue might be a duplicate of #1217.
Reason: The current issue and #1217 both describe the exact same core problem: the Teams application UI fails to detect and apply the system's dark theme, remaining stuck in light mode. Both issues expect the app to correctly follow the system's dark theme (e.g., darkman for the current issue, KDE Breeze dark for #1217). A single fix addressing the underlying theme detection and application mechanism for Teams v2 would resolve both issues completely.
Also related to: #1755 ([Bug]: 2.1.0 uses dark mode for window decorations), #636 (Bright flash when starting the app even with dark theme enabled)

I think that similibot got a bit stuck, apologies for that.

If you are having the same problem in the browser, then I suggest you reach out to microsoft directly, and/or aur might be better.
