Teams also doesn’t support multiple “work” accounts, so I had to boot up a laptop to accept the call. 🤷

Teams won’t even open on Safari. Must use a chrome-based browser (like… Edge!)
To be fair, I don’t know many complex websites that work on Safari
It’s really not as bad as people portray. Most sites do work in Safari. There are some problems, but they’ve been pretty good about licking them over time. It’s passable enough that I only have to punt to an alternate browser once in a while.
I’ve tried to use Firefox, I really have. But Firefox absolutely murders my battery and I’m sorry, but they need to do some serious usability improvements… especially around the container implementation and tab management. It’s confusing as fuck (to me).
can’t, or won’t?
Apparently it can when changing the user agent so it seems like it’s more won’t than can’t.
I’m not surprised. I guess they follow on Google’s footsteps of anti-competitively neutering search results for things like weather and stocks from Firefox for Android vs. Chrome, which work fine if your change the user-agent. -_-
use teams classic, most professional workspaces are switching to it since the “new” teams came out
What is the difference? I had an IT guy remote into my system yesterday to delete Teams and install Teams classic
New Teams is a rewrite of the old Teams client which is intended to be faster and better to develop for MS as it’s based on a newer framework.
However it does seem to still have a few odd bugs here and there. I do find it faster myself though.
I read this whole thread and didnt find a single person who uses teams inside ferdium like me.
Is this like Franz ? I used that for a while, was pretty good actually.
I now use the unofficial teams client, it works ok for me.
Unsure. Also unsure hat unofficial client you use.
You can use private mode or a different browser to login with multiple Teams accounts.
Im sure if you swap user agent to chrome they wouldn’t give a fuck
It’ll complain later that the browser is blocking its spyware and adware.
It crashes right after a call starts.
Everything else works fine though.
Yeah, as far as I know it’s not some browser chauvinism, but Firefox not supporting some multimedia protocols, that doesn’t mean it’s Firefox fault though, I’d install some chrome fork just for this kind of interactions
All you have to do is change your user agent. This is just a way for Microsoft to wash their hands of browser support outside of WebKit
you sure you’ll get video calling that way?
Well they are just lying, it works fine with Firefox and has worked fine for years. I live in the EU though. Sucks to be american these days, I guess?
These days? It’s sucked to be an American for decades.
Better than being in a third world country ig. But it’s frustrating, because our issues are generally fueled by greed and were entirely preventable
As I saw somebody once say, “The US is a 3rd world country in a Prada belt.” If we didn’t have that big chunk of post-WW2 money keeping our economy chugging along all these years, we probably wouldn’t look all that different from them.
When you have to compare yourself to a “third world country” to feel not so bad it’s not a compliment.
I have the same issue, but I am also in the EU. however, I just used an extension to spoof my user agent and now it works fine. there is some weird behavior sometimes, like when I call someone it doesn’t actually ring the other person etc.

This isnt Hexbear man, wrong instance.
But we’re good with Eat the Rich, right?
Yes, that’s still fine.
What the hell does it have to do with being American?
Certain restrictions related to Microsoft Edge are applied less in the EU
Same for me, tried it today and it worked perfectly
Jitsi is better
Do you think I’m using teams because I want to use teams??
But I can’t accept a Teams call on Jitsi, can I?
No
Have you tried changing your user agent string to Chrome? I know it can sometimes sidestep these types of “errors”. It can be changed manually through about:config under general.useragent.override, or there exists plenty of addons to switch it more easily.
I’ve avoided changing my user agent because Firefox’s apperant market share is already so low. I’ve installed the extension and will it try it with my work container though.
I used to freelance for a big corp who used MS teams and provided me with separate credentials, while also having my private MS account, that I occasionally use for other corps I worked for.
It was a hell using it that way. I had to run each one in a private Brave window to be able to work on two different accounts.
I know they only use MS teams, bc their infra is all based on MS, and it probably works fine for them internally. But man, this shit needs to be fixed in some way to account for external people, especially the ones who chose their own stack and work simultaneously with others.
Teams rarely works well internally.
Apparently the dumpster fire known as MS Teams supports multiple accounts now.
It does, but it basically reloads the app when switching. Which, if I recall correctly, means no notifications from the other account and really slow swapping between accounts. When I had to use multiple accounts I would use the app for one and a browser for the other.
Luckily, I’ve been able to get away with only using Teams for meetings, so my exposure is limited, but last time I messed around in the top right corner there was an area that indicated it would show notifications from other accounts.
I have had no need or desire to test this, though.
The new teams doesn’t seem to reload the app (or ita really fast). Still garbage program.
Works fine for me in Firefox.
Remember when Internet Explorer/Edge was only used to download Chrome. Well, ironically these days I only use Chrome to make video calls.

Teams also doesn’t support multiple “work” accounts
Firefox lets you have completely separate profiles with separate accounts (URL:
about:profiles, it can’t be linked to for security reasons) and also an official extension to have another layer of profiles on a per-tab basis (containers).Also no idea what he is talking about, I have 4 work accounts in Teams. Ever since they rebuilt their frontend to the “New Teams” multiple accounts have been working just fine.
In the past I had multiple Team instances as PWA for different work accounts, nowadays it’s all in one app and works pretty good.
Not to defend Teams, it’s total shit, a lot of shit straight up doesn’t work half of the time, including important shit like notifications for new messages and content. But it has come a long way from the days including any image in chat would crash Teams for all participants. It isn’t perfect and the amount of resources it used to do what it does is awful, but compared to most modern apps it’s pretty good.
Just don’t tell a Teams dev Microsoft Messenger did 99% of the same stuff and ran super fast on a Pentium 3 333mhz with 64MB of ram, they’ll cry and you’ll be called out for being a bully.
