Linux: MS Teams - and Office 365

These Corona-days we often meet on MS Teams at work. So a version on my Linux system could come in handy.

Just for the hell of it, I tried to find a MS Teams client in Arch Linux (Manjaro). To my surprise it was available. To my even greater surprise it worked like a charm. Thanx Microsoft.

At log in I could select my Logitech c920 webcam and the Thronmax usb microphone. I just had to allow the usage.

The only caveat was a screen share that did not work, because my wifi connection is terrible. That was certainly not a Microsoft issue, but rather something I want to discuss with Yousee (it's the never ending story: connection sucks, complain, then it works for at week or two, then the connection is horrible again).

By the way - I got the whole package: mail, calendar etc. etc.

Cool!

Here are my settings in a Chrome browser on a Macbook Air.

Do thus:

CMD + SHIFT + .

et voila! Now you see the hidden files.

[SOLVED] MS Teams JavaScript Error on Mac

MS Teams Cannot run on my MacBook Air. I get these errors:

Solved - here's the hack

MS Teams up and running on Macbook Air

I got the recipe for the hack here.

Open a terminal, and change to the sudo user. Then:

cd /Users/USERNAME-HERE/Library/Application\ Support/

chown -R per Microsoft

Do this for all users on the system (if there are many a bash-loop could do the trick).
