Hi,

Is anyone using Microsoft Teams? I see there are .deb and .rpm packages available.

I'm asking as some of my correspondents can't/won't use other means of communicating, which means I risk excluding myself.

Not using Leap atm, but MicroOS Desktop. But for me I use MS Teams with the flatpak. Or most of the time with my Windows 10 VM on VirtualBox. no problems there at all. /Syds

Thanks

Bob

I use it daily for chat, voice/video calls, Office document edition/review, screen sharing, etc. In general, a few of the advanced features are "Windows-only" (taking control of a remote screen, for instance, or setting a fake background during video calls), but the Linux application installs flawlessly from .rpm, updates itself, and has proven quite robust (Leap 15.2). Integration with the Linux sound stack is unproblematic (at least as far as I'm concerned). The constant barrage of notifications can soon become obnoxious, but that's Teams for you. You can enable or disable the notifications per channel of course, but when you have tens of them, that's a chore as well. No particular issue other than that. Or perhaps a minor one: it insists on installing itself in your Autostart folder (~/.config/autostart/), which is not a decision I think an application should take. HTH Ph.
