It's just infuriating, there is no good reason for not supporting firefox
Firefox even is hardcoded to present itself as "Chrome on Windows" when visiting Teams.
Ye, i remember they mentioning this, and people i know confirm it works fine. It just doesnt work on my end. I do have firefox set up to be very private though ( no 3th party cookies and more )
I am one of the last to defend Microsoft but I just tried it with Firefox 118.0.1 64-Bit on Win11 22H2 22621.2134 with uBlock Origin enabled.
Loaded a good few times but it loaded and can chat.
Seems more like a you problem!
I.D.10-T error, probably.
Teams is a fucking joke and I hate it.
Login loops, cookie mess, until recently calling not supported on Firefox (like what?)
I mean it’s 2023 and you come up with this abomination, Microsoft?
Teams should be illegal at this point.
The only reason it exists is to keep companies trapped in the MS ecosystem. They do this with all kinds of things. For instance at my work it's required for all engineers to get Azure certified due to a deal we have with MS. They don't care about their product. They don't care about their users. Hell they don't even care about their employees. It's just B2b == money, all day every day
Can't forget it's just reskinned Skype for Business. It was shit back in the day, but at least everything else was shitty aswell.
In our company we self host Rocket.Chat, and damn me if it isn't the best thing ever. It just fucking works, flawlessly.
How recently did calling become supported? About a month ago I was still unable to even log in using Firefox unless I used a user agent switcher, and even then only text-based messaging worked.
I read somewhere Firefox now changes its user agent automatically for Teams, maybe that fixed it.
Weird, for me it does work.
Same, maybe some extension conflict?
Don't know, I only got youtube dislike and ublock addon, it also doesn't work for my friends tho
It's probably ublock origin
I have uBlock Origin and it doesn't do the thing displayed in the picture.
Maybe they're using custom lists
Are they all on Linux too?
Teams doesn't work on anything
ITT: pretty much everyone who actually tried it reports that OP is wrong
Also, calling them "shitsoft" just makes you seem whiny. If you want to make a serious point about something, don't do that.
Switch agent to Google Chrome / Chromium and things will work magically.
Work fine for me in Firefox on Linux.
Works fine for me on Firefox on Windows10 on an old thinkpad that can barely run Google Meet now.
Let’s not forget that Teams also uses SharePoint as a backend to some of its functions. If ever there was a pile of shit to build on…
This is great. Highly recommended.
Yep. Use it at work every day (on Ubuntu). Gives you more features than the "oicial preview client" used to do (like custom video backgrounds and screen sharing on Wayland) but you can run it as a seperate app instead of just in your browser.
It doesnt work on my systems ( firefox + windows, not linux ) either. With some user agent magic (tricking its running on safari/ios) it works... Except when you enable your camera in teams >>
Shitsoft teams doesn't work ~~on firefox~~
FTFY
I unfortunately have to work regularly with Ms teams and it's a gargantuan shit show that doesn't work, period. Why anyone would want to even use this is beyond me. About 6 months ago I posted a list of over 20 bugs on Reddit in the /teams sub reddit and I just got flooded with replies like "liar" and "you suck"
Fuck everything about sucksoft
Fuck this piece of shit software. I'm so done with this. Today, there was an issue with the audio freezing while playing videos embedded in a presentation. Cant even Do the one thing it is supposed to do.
Don't know what settings/configs/add-ons you got, but at the college I go to, they don't allow modifications on school computers. Teams, which I am forced to use in 3 of my classes and it just works.
is it just not working on firefox or artificially not supporting it? if the second option is true, then i think there's a way to spoof websites into thinking you're running chrome.
Not sure, I can login and all, but chats, etc. don't render
I've seen the exact same behaviour in the actual teams client on Windows. I think it's likely just a bug.
I think it's a bug too since I'm using teams web interface fine on Linux. I don't like it but it works for meetings.
Teams does not have bugs, it has features.
it's a feature for digital wellbeing! if the software isn't rendering chats, you can spend more time meditating and touching grass! because YOU "matter"!
But there is a good reason! The reason is: Promote Edge! /s
Do you have enhanced tracking protection on? Knowing Microsoft you might need to disable it for teams to work right
They told me in the UI to turn it off.
It could be the issue or OP didnt read the error message.
People don't read error messages, even if they describe exactly what to do to fix the problem. :(
I spent over an hour yesterday trying to fix onedrive sync issues caused by teams yesterday. I hate that software with a vengeance!
I've found it works with Firefox but breaks a lot with Ublock (with a lot of filters enabled) or URL cleaning apps, for what it's worth.
The desktop app won't work on my machine because it ALWAYS tries to connect to my ActiveDirectory account, but my company doesn't use Teams so that always fails. It says it can be configured to use a personal account but it lies, and always goes for the AD first. I'm forced to use the web client for any meeting that requires Teams.
I had some issues with calling within teams on Firefox. I was able to resolve it by installing the Firefox plugin that resolves it.
I hate teams but sadly I'm forced to use it in school. Our city spent ridiculous amount of money developing an ms SharePoint/office site for all schools so now I'm stuck with shotsoft teams :(
