How to use Microsoft Teams Privately? (lemm.ee)

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?

I am not 100% sure, but I think you don't really need an account. I've had interviews where I got a link to a call/invite and opened it in the web browser. There was no need to sign in. Just enter a name and grant permissions for accessing cam and mic.

Same as in Zoom, actually.
