The more they push their shitty mobile app, the more people won't use it.
This definitely has some Microsoft Edge vibes to me.
Somehow Microsoft was still quiet sucessfull with Edge in large parts of the society.
Yes that's true and I'm sure it isn't that bad. I just don't like the way they are trying to force their browser on everyone which is why I try to avoid Edge as much as possible. It's kind of a personal principle now. Microsoft likely doesn't care about that though since, as you said, they are successful with that technique.
Funny enought i installed Edge on Linux in order to use Teams decently. But happily avoid Microsoft elswhere.
Teams works fine in Vivaldi or any chromium browser on Linux.
Teams has been a dumpster fire for me on Linux in browser or using their native client. When it does actually work (which isn't often), it makes Zoom crash. I avoid it at all costs these days.
I'm still using the flatpak and just discovered I couldn't share my screen during a video call. I know the native app is deprecated. Can you help me understand what works or doesn't if I install Edge? Is assume then I'd load my teams URL in edge and get the same familiar interface, just in a different wrapper.
I actually don’t mind Edge now that Bing chat is a thing
I use Safari on my Mac, and Google is just about as bad.
If I open the Gmail site on my iPhone in Safari, I have to click past a giant "INSTALL GMAIL APP" button to get to the teeny-tiny (no thanks, continue on mobile web) link.
That said, I use Chrome on my Windows PC and Edge is frickin' annoying. It's like when you go to a car lot just to look, and the doofus in khakis and a polo won't let you walk around in peace.
