Edge is basically only way to use Teams on Linux unfortunately...
With o365 and Azure I've felt better with Firefox (and containers plugin) since it allows me to separate my logins easily. This is probably not a big deal if you have just 1-2 accounts though...
Thats only a problem for you, Ive used teams on firefox running arch for ages without a problem
Glad it works for you. I've had various problems with calls/meetings and sharing, but microshit doesn't even support those on ff unfortunately https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/limits-specifications-teams#browsers
I have a separate work laptop and a KVM. I log into one domain on one account. So yeah, it's not an issue for my use case.
As for Teams on Linux, what distro are you running? There is a client for Ubuntu and others based on it. It never gave me any trouble.
I'm on Debian. The .deb "native" app was killed by M$ last year, while technically worked "fine" until recently.
I'm also working mainly on laptop provided by workplace, though I do sometimes access webapps from my desktop.
I see. I only JUST switched my laptop to Mint so I haven't even gone looking for it yet. I installed the beta probably early last year or maybe late '21 but never noticed it not updating lol Damn, that sucks ass.
And yeah, sorry, I meant a KVM switch. I love working from home. I go to the office about 10-15 times a year and travel for work a few times outside of that and that's enough of seeing some of my coworkers I need. My boss is on the same page. She's gonna be pissed if executive leadership ever take telework away from us.
Heh, many of our team also like working from home ever since 2020 but, now people have started returning to office partially because our manager kindly requested (upper management tried to enforce 2 days but kekw) but also few people like me genuenly just enjoyed getting out a bit more. I tend to be a bit home dweller if there's no actual burning reason to go out
