Teams is being pushed by a ton of companies that rely on M$ Offshit 365, Azunsure and so, in a way that forces you to use the whole stack as if compatibility was almost impossible. Furthermore, M$ must be raging inside as they built Edge around Chromium so any product working on it will likely be 100% compatible to Chrome.Įither, there are millions of users using Firefox as their primary web browser, gaining benefit from the great browser it is. Microsoft has been sued and fined in the past for practices like this one because it’s f* monopolistic behavior. I do not mind about the technical crap about Teams and Firefox. I mean, do you do the same (complaining) and then don’t use the most popular apps for messaging because they are developed using electron? I bet you use them anyway, so maybe it is time to shut up.ĭo you need any more examples of popular messaging electron based apps? (obviously there are many many more) I would just say: Teams works and you don’t use it, so move on.īut seriously, literally most ‘popular’ (or known or whatever) messaging apps are electron based anyway, so I don’t understand the complaints here. Obviously a native app will be better than an electron app, but it is what it is and it makes it easier to develop multiplatform apps, so developers take advantage of it… So, you can turn your computer off and never use software again if you hate the approach of many developers of trying to make it easier to develop for different platforms, or just don’t use them or ignore them. I mean, you are literally admitting you don’t even use Teams, that’s why you don’t know (or you just want to complain, like many clowns in ghacks comment section) so I don’t even know why you even care if it is an electron app or not, plus, electron exists for a reason, but of course, if you have 4GB ram and complain about the ram usage of the electron apps, maybe it is time for you to upgrade and stop crying about Electron. Some things may or may not work properly, and since Teams is used for work and school, it cannot be reliable, and shouldn't be taken what does that have anything to do with this? Team + Firefox = web version, so it doesn’t matter what the desktop version is based on, it doesn’t affect crap. The problem with unofficial fixes such as this, is that you cannot guarantee full compatibility with the service that you are trying to access. If you are interested in this, you can use an extension like User-Agent Switcher and Manager. The easiest workaround to such restrictions is to change the user agent of the browser, aka spoof the website to think that you are accessing it from a Chromium based browser. You would think they would have learned their lesson by now, wouldn't you? Regardless, neither of those two options will be acceptable to a user who was specifically interested in the web-based version. Quickest solution? Download the desktop app." The web page also has links to the supported browsers that it recommends, Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome. If you try logging in to your Microsoft account on the Teams website using Firefox, you will be greeted by a message that reads, "Hmm. A few months later, things have changed, and Skype on the web is functional in Firefox. And as Martin pointed out, it wasn't just the icon that was missing, the VOIP service was indeed not compatible with the browser. Last year, when it promised to support Skype in all browsers, the Redmond company casually forgot to add the Firefox icon, for which it was criticized. It is not the first time Microsoft has ignored Mozilla's browser. The only drawback here is that Teams on the web is not supported in Firefox. Some users prefer to use it that way, without installing the standalone tool on their computer. ![]() Aside from the mobile apps and desktop programs that it offers, Teams, not unlike Skype, can also be used directly from web browsers. ![]() The service's popularity has been growing steadily, and it now boasts a user base of 270 million monthly active users. Many people view Teams as the successor to Skype, not just because they are made by the same company, but because of the modern experience that the former provides over the latter, across devices and platforms. Microsoft has updated its roadmap for Teams to confirm that Teams support for Firefox is in the works, it's about time.
