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

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.

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

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.
-
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
-
No but, you can just close it.

So now my clients will have a harder time engaging with my product. Great.
-
Stop using microsoft teams, ya dolt.
-
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.

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).
-
Did you even read the article.
-
Good. Do me a favour and block the audio as well.
-
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.
