I hate it so much. I always say "I just assume you all see my screen. As you can see...". Screen sharing works in what? 99% of cases? We do not need to ask if everyone can see my screen and let 1-10 people answer that stupid question every time. The modus operandi is that this software works in the vast majority of cases and the recipients just need to know that I started sharing my screen and that it will in 99% of cases work just fine. Let them speak up for the 1% of times where it does not work.

I am also a big fan of ending my emails with "A response is not needed". Stop sending me replies with those stupid one line emails "Thank you so much for sending me what I asked you for.... bla bla". Not every emails needs a response.

It works 95% of the time but it often takes 10+ seconds until everyone can see the screen.

I get your point, but teams is such a broken mess that I think the question is legitimate. Half the time it doesn't even register my microphone even if Windows doesn't have a problem with it.

Fun Fact, Teams under Linux works way better than under Windows...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That's the exact opposite of what I've read in most linux threads on here. Most people seem to complain about teams not working at all under Linux.

FTFY.

I use Arch btw.

Teams not working at all is already way better in my opinion

The PWA? Shouldn’t it work the same everywhere?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

No, the arch package, i think they use the Debian one.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

My whole dev group uses Linux and Teams is a hot mess for us. We have to run the PWA through Chrome to get things to work and even then it's hit or miss.

I tried it about 2 years ago and it was a fucking omnishambles on Linux. I presume it has improved since then..

Wait, what? I thought they killed Teams for Linux a few years back. I've been piping my Webcam to a Windows VM just so I can run Teams and Outlook.

the AUR teams for arch works fine for me...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Nice! I'll give it a try. I tried the web version through Firefox and it was unusable. I was able to join a meeting, but as soon as I turned on my mic, my opponents freaked out, saying their sounds were echoing back to them. Firefox + web teams was not doing any noise cancellation between speakers and mic.

Could teams run in waydroid? That would be a bit lighter if it could.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Ooh, that's a good suggestion to try, too! My specific problem with teams in the browser is the feedback cancelation bits. When I am unmuted, the people I'm chatting with hear themselves echoed. Using the full teams app in a windows VM with my webcam piped to the windows VM works fine. I'll try the AUR teams first, but if that doesn't work I'll look into waydroid, too. Thanks!
