I mean, my work PC is managed by the company and thus a Windows device, but why disable that feature? Yes, it somewhat makes sense if you see it like “we don’t want other OS to have all features to make costumers less likely to switch” BUT Teams on Mac has some unique features that haven’t been ported to windows and are still exclusively available on Mac, so…?!
They stopped supporting Teams on Linux entirely. Linux users are supposed to run Teams in a browser and the browser version lacks certain features, even things like custom background images; you can only use the ones provided by Microsoft.
I use an unofficial client, which seems to be based on the old official one. That gives me most of the functionality back.
I don’t switch to linux because I need to use “breakout rooms” in Teams on a daily basis and they disabled that for linux.
that’s weird. does that not work in the browser either?
I don’t think it ever worked in the browser. Like all office apps, the browser version is limited
Jeez…microsoft should just explode atp
WTF?

Which client is that and where can I find it?

It’s also on Flathub and the AUR. And the Snap store, if you use that for some reason.
