Hi . i am forced to use microsft teams but i see that desktop app was discontinued . what are the alternatives ?

Yep, I have been using it and it works great. I had to use the --disableAutogain true arguments, my SO talking in the background would spike the mic input levels but after using the flags I had zero issues.

I didn't know that was an option! I've been running the Chrome extension to disable automatic gain. I have had better luck using Edge than Chrome for the PWA, and they have a flatpak to make it easier. The only thing I miss now is the multiple windows like you get on a Mac/Windows where the call doesn't take over the chat window.

Webapp works fine on firefox and chromium

It did not on firefox and brave . Probably gotta tinker abit to enable cookies and similar.. Still i generaly prefer apps over web interfaces

The web interface still works? Might need chrome for it to work, it was broken in firefox last time i tried it.

I've been using the discontinued flatpak for the last month and it works fine.

Alongside it, I've also used the unofficial teams-for-linux flatpak which also works well.

I tried Chromium but couldn't get audio working and in Firefox, audio worked but screen sharing didn't as in, I couldn't see my lecturer's shared screen but I could see it in Chromium, so I had Firefox opened to hear the audio and was following along the shared screen on Chromium.
