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”.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 points 2 minutes 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

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 46 minutes ago

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

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

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.

[–] Maestro@fedia.io 10 points 18 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 15 hours ago

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

[–] Moobythegoldensock@lemm.ee 3 points 18 hours ago

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

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 14 hours ago

Did you even read the article.
