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”.

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

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

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 1 month ago

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

[–] Moobythegoldensock@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

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

This still works, it is my only method of interaction with Teams

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 month 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

What do you use for video calls with screen share?

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

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] bane_killgrind@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

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

Stop using microsoft teams, ya dolt.

[–] bane_killgrind@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 month 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.

[–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Did you even read the article.

[–] biofaust@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I don't know to what extent they'll go, but yes, this and the Advanced Chat Privacy in WhatsApp are just user locking moves.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 points 1 month ago

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