I hope they use ChatGPT and Copilot to finally make a working version of Teams on Linux.

I swear it's gotten actively worse in the last year

I use it in the browser now. No way i install that pile of garbage again.

Wait till you try running it in Firefox. It's clearly crippled on that browser.

Microsoft does not give a toss about Firefox. Power Bi and Power Apps also have bugs only in Firefox

Strange how programs might not work correctly in a browser that takes privacy seriously... I wonder what might cause that? /s

It’s no longer supported. The installer is just an old copy

You mean the app? I did get a meaningful update in the flatpak not so long ago before I switched to browser

Edit: oh yeah seems you're right, and just around the time I quit

Also just around the time I bought a System76 to WFH. I was bitterly disappointed

Since they went to the progressive web app last fall, it’s been nearly flawless for me.

They announced back in like september it was no longer supported, so that tracks.

Working version of Teams, period :D

I downloaded teams to do job interviews.

Had to disable "run on startup" because I'd constantly be treated "teams has crashed" everytime I started my pc.

I’m one of the lucky ones and it has not really acted up for me just yet but one of my teammates is going through nightmares with it and it hurts me to see him suffer.

On the other hand it is a really nice piece of software which makes its flaws even harder to fathom honestly.

What do you mean ? It works ! It just sometimes completely forget some messages, sometimes fail to load an entire chat so I have to restart the app, sometimes crash without reason, sometimes audio refuses to work in video calls... But it launches ! I call that working by Microsoft standards.

Really basic stuff like copy/paste does not work. But they want to add in more features?!

They just need to call it "money hype train, we will fix it as we go." If a company ran that honest PR campaign I'd be a customer.

Teams for linux now works as a Progressive Web App, which means it now has the same features as the windows app

bjorneylol t1_j6zfs3j wrote

Except for the fact that it has next to zero usability if you use Firefox as a default browser, and there are no functional OS integrations

Lol I can just see the faces of the devs when the PM asked them last week “can we add gpt to teams to fix the crashing bugs and performance issues?”

You mean you want to see more than the same random four people at once? I don't think there is a use case for that.

They should ask ChatGPT to make a better Teams app.

Windows 11 is technically a decent Ubuntu distro.

i work at teams and i can tell you usage in Linux is getting so low it makes no sense business wise to invest anything on it tbh

dack42 t1_j702e2p wrote

It's almost like people are avoiding using it because of the huge amount of bugs and missing features...

its douvle edged sword. But its not worth putting any effort when Linux doesn't bring any money to table
