The important bit:

Those joining from unsupported platforms will be automatically placed in audio-only mode to protect shared content.

And I presume everything except Windows 11 Teams will be considered “unsupported”.

So now my clients will have a harder time engaging with my product. Great.

[–] gradual@lemmings.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Stop using microsoft teams, ya dolt.

[–] bane_killgrind@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 hours ago

My workplace barely groks opportunity cost on their main product, and I'm not responsible for the IT. When it breaks constantly, I say "yeah we know it breaks like this, get them to fix it."

Not my circus, I just stamp the tickets.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 points 4 hours ago

Good. Do me a favour and block the audio as well.

i trust signing in through the browser on linux will be supported since that's the official way to use teams on linux

except on firefox of course, because fuck you for even trying to protect a little bit of your privacy

[–] iknowitwheniseeit@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I use Edge on Linux for working with Microsoft stuff on my corporate laptop. For everything else I use Firefox there. Privacy preserved, basically.

[–] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Privacy preserved, basically.

only if the browser cannot run in the background, and it cannot access any of your fikes, the DBus of your regular user's session, and other facilities

You lock it with flatpak as much as you can. Also, don't keep it running if not needed.

[–] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago

Also, don't keep it running if not needed.

can you enforce that with flatpak? I often see the notification that "X program is still running in the background" or something similar, but the flatpak permission settings did not seem to have such a setting

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 16 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Aahhwww, that is so sad, I run Linux and soon our entire office will.

Guess we won't be using teams then, ooaaahhhwww, so sad

[–] bane_killgrind@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 hours ago

What do you use for video calls with screen share?

My coop uses teams and I want to move them off it.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 37 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I used to be able to join teams meetings in the browser version of teams from my Linux machine. I did my last job interview this way

[–] Moobythegoldensock@lemm.ee 10 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

There’s also the unofficial flatpak, which works rather well.

[–] Maestro@fedia.io 12 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

No, it sucks. The Linux app does not support screen sharing on Wayland, but it works fine in the browser

[–] jamescrakemerani@feddit.uk 4 points 19 hours ago

I use Wayland at work, and haven't had any issues sharing my screen on Teams.

[–] Moobythegoldensock@lemm.ee 3 points 22 hours ago

Ah. I haven’t switched to Wayland yet so I wasn’t aware of that issue.

[–] lud@lemm.ee 5 points 17 hours ago

Read the article man

This feature will be available on Teams desktop applications (both Windows and Mac) and Teams mobile applications (both iOS and Android).

[–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

Did you even read the article.
