Teams apparently can’t call when using Firefox
Teams also doesn’t support multiple “work” accounts, so I had to boot up a laptop to accept the call. 🤷
They don’t support Linux applications, they don’t support the main Linux browser. They don’t want you to use Linux
Except WSL
Extend and Extinguish. Why move when you can just usr our WSL? Get used to it, get reliant on it. Then we’ll fuck you over.
people using user agent switcher so they can use bullshit like teams probably introduces errors into the statistics so microsoft can claim most users use chromium anyway.
Exactly, this is how Microsoft operates. This time they gave an excuse they still allow plenty of other browsers (with the same engine). Google loves it, because it hurts Firefox and they can say they are not responsible for 3rd parties blocking sites.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this is coordinated based on lessons learned with IE.
As a bonus it gives companies that want to use or allow Firefox a reason to use Google Workspace because Google Meet works perfectly on Firefox.
If they want to use Firefox, wouldn’t they also want to use a FOSS meeting software?
My org actually uses both, as well as Slack. We use:
- Teams - most meetings
- Meet - some meetings w/ outside orgs
- Slack - 1:1 and small group, impromptu meetings
I use the Teams and Slack apps, and Meet in the web.
Does it work if you change your user agent?
Yep it does, funnily enough
So it’s just an arbitrary restriction as a “fück you” to people using FF
