I tried that too... and still trying to get it to work. Now I have a
problem with current emulators/wine-devel - amd64 version does not work
at all, emulators/i386-wine-devel does not support staging, which is
required to build runas.exe.
Building emulators/wine-devel from ports on i386 chroot (with staging
enabled) throws some errors which I can't cope with:

I even tried to copy runas.exe from some other wine binary build, but
I'm not sure it's the way to go - wine throws exception, which tells me
nothing :)

At work I use Teams on a daily basis and it's more and more pain in the
a** having problems with audio/video calls. Switching to other OS is the
last thing I'd like to do...

BTW Some of my coworkers use Linux and they don't have much problems
with desktop app, although it's quite cpu/memory hog.
