Anyone know the best way to use Microsoft Teams on linux without using the PWA application? They discontinued the support for the native linux desktop application which I have archived here.
I see a teams-for-linux project available on github but unsure if people are actually using it and it is safe.
pwa for windows? I wonder if that could be used to make Minecraft for win10 work on a steam deck
Do people currently have an issue with Minecraft running on the steam deck?
Wonder why since Minecraft Java and Bedrock have native packages for Debian and Arch.
so java doesn’t play with mc on my daughter’s switch, also requires fiddling to make a controller work and the bedrock edition I think is just the android version which sometimes is an update out and a lil jank on a proper pc. id like the proper win10 Minecraft up and running
I think the only option is the browser version… Which comes down to the same thing any way since the native linux version was an electron app any way.
Best way is probably have it sandboxed somehow (separate profile/browser/… that is only used for teams). I haven’t bothered though since I only use teams on company hardware and don’t mix work/private pc’s.
I use the PWA app on Linux and it’s working fine for me (Microsoft Edge flatpak)
Only complain I hear is that it doesn’t support opening chats in new window (may have been there now, but I haven’t tried)
I don’t use the app on macOS
It sucks in firefox, and I’ve had issues with things being low resolution in Chrome. Very annoying situation.
So I ended up just wrapping electron around the existing website works for me. Screen sharing doesn’t work but I don’t want to share my screen anyways
By this you mean teams-for-linux project? I think I’ve read something like this in the description.
Also am very interested in Teams working in linux (fedora kde specifically). And the sad part is that I need screen sharing…
No I used GitHub - nativefier/nativefier: Make any web page a desktop application, the teams for linux app although I don’t think anything nefarious is happening. They do use a lot of languages that I don’t know how read. So I am hesitant to use it on my machine since I can’t quite audit the code just yet. However it looks like most folks are using that teams-for-linux package and it is working fine for them.
The headache with that package is
Point on the safe part. Most of us use it for work, and this leaks and stuff is something that can bring intellectual damage.
Thanks for link. Will give it a try once will be making a system.
I used a Teams app on linux through flatpak a few weeks ago, worked fine. My webcam didn’t work but I expect it not having drivers. Screen sharing did break so I switched to de-googled chromium and was able to tab share from there.
Debian
X11
Mate
I think this is the Teams-for-Linux.
Ah. So from de-googled (I need to google what that is) chromium worked for screen share? No X11/Wayland shenanigans?
I shared in the same browser. I didn’t test further. I have gotten webcam to work iirc.
So you shared only the content of a window (nor the whole screen), correct?
It took me a while, but I finally saw this line.
