Few months back #Microsoft Teams stopped supporting #Linux, and their nasty argument was "you can use our web app from your browser". Today I got this in my browser which is #Firefox.
Unfortunately I have to use Microsoft Teams because my university and the audience all have contract with Microsoft 🙄
Yeah, keep fooling yourself that :microsoft: ❤️ :linux:

مهرداد من تونستم با نسخه هایی از فایرفاکسه حریم خصوصی-محور سایت مایکروسافت تیمز رو باز کنم البته یه سری افزونه فعال هم دارم که نمیدونم در این روند تاثیری داشتن یانه.
اگر دوست داشتی لیست میکنم برات.
@mmtech2012
ممنون از پیغامت. قاعدتا یکی از کارایی که میکنن تغییر نسبتا رندوم user-agent هست برای جلوگیری از fingerprinting که اینجا به نفع کاربر به این شکل تموم میشه.
مشکل من عدم دسترسی به Teams نیست، مشکل اینه که فایرفاکس قابلیت نمایش سایت رو داره بدون مشکل، ولی یک خط کد هست روی سرور Teams که باعث میشه اگه chromium-based نباشه ارور بده. این بده. اینگه یه سریا میگن مایکروسافت داستان لینوکس و اوپن‌سورس رو پذیرفته بده.

Don't know. Didn't have time to try. I was already ~30 secs late to the meeting. Perhaps it does until at some point it doesn't (?)
Microsoft might not be all that evil, but these things they do really doesn't help their coding or management credibility.
Today I installed Vivaldi on that machine. Next time I will refuse to give a talk in anything that doesn't have Linux client. The organizers should either acknowledge this request or find someone else.
@Mehrad It's just so patchy! I feel your pain. I'm using teams through firefox on ubuntu. But a month ago teams claimed I could only use a chromium based browser. It was patchy for a week or so, but now solid again on FF.
@mikerspencer@Mehrad For me the teams linux app still mostly works (I think there's some graphics driver glitches) but the web version seems fine with firefox for me.
@geospacedman
Which linux app do you use? They do not provide .deb or .rpm nor any Flatpak, Snap or AppImage. They used to have a Flatpak, but they discontinued it some months ago.
@mikerspencer
Did do any User Agent modification? I had to install Vivaldi to get the damn thing working for the meeting.
@ahoyboyhoy
Yes, Zoom has its own Linux issues (broken SSO auth), but at least the web app is fully functional on both X11 and Wayland as far as my experience goes.
@met They used to have an official flatpak, but few months back they sent an email and announced that they are removing it. The current Flatpak is done by a guy as a personal project:
My issue with this Flatpak is that for an app that needs access to lots of things on my computer, I'm a bit hesitant to install third-party Flatpak. This is because I cannot use Flatseal to disable permissions and still have a function Teams.
