@claudiom Only the web interface. Thank you for pointing out that there are packages for Linux as well, in a way pleasantly surprised, but I prefer to have Microsoft free devices.

The point is to see how self reliant we can be while still providing good quality services.

Wondering anyway how it would behave with a decent number of users. I've just assisted at a nice meeting with 160 people, no software install required, on our platform and behaved quite well.

@paolo I get it, but sometimes you just have to get things done. And, especially with how work can sometimes be, you need things to work. Trust me, I've been where you're at, and I now believe you should use what works. But I digress...

Back to the topic: are you using the browser that's installed from the repo? If so, you may have to download the compiled binary of Firefox from the website. That's what I'm using on the Fedora machine only because it allows me to get the latest upon release...

@paolo Fedora tends to be pretty good about being on the latest release of Firefox, but I'm sort of bleeding edge in that respect, so using the binary from the Firefox website is what I use. Also, some things tend to be disabled on the repo package version (Widevine is one) and have to be manually enabled, which is why I used the procompiled binary from the website.

At least for the Teams meetings, you might want to consider that if you prefer the web browser interface.

@claudiom I fully understand your PoV but my job is actually to promote Open Source and interoperable platforms which also protect our data and privacy.

I may be able to fix Teams on Ubuntu but it won't fix the fact that my kids data is going to Microsoft and eventual third parties and that's my issue.

We have the solution, it works perfectly on every device and it can be hosted by anyone reducing our dependence on third parties for critical services.

Thanks anyway for the info.

@paolo Fair enough. I'm all for promoting FOSS solutions over proprietary ones (it's why I use Mastodon primarily and don't have a Twitter or FB account). As herculean as the task seems (trust me, I do know), every little bit helps.

That said, I'm just glad that I can use my preferred OSes with these solutions as opposed to have to use Windows if that's all that's required. I don't run Windows at all here, and not having those apps for work on Linux would force me to use Windows at home.
