Even my Linux loving, MS doubting self is mostly happy with teams. It's the only video chat I've found that properly handles multiple screens when sharing my screen from Linux. Most apps will only share the entire X "screen" which means it shares all 3 monitors as a single screen but teams allows me to select the actual monitor I want to share.
If they got rid of the excessive whitespace at each side of the chat and used libnotify like civilized folks I'd be super happy.

They use the same custom notification on Mac os and even on Windows. Oh, and on Linux, have you tried using it with a tiling wm ? The notification gets its own regular window. The first time it happened it was quite jarring to have it fill half my 32" monitor. Even since that happened, I've went back to using it through Firefox, which honors the system notification setup.
- deadbunny 7y agoI do indeed use it with a TWM, if you're using i3 like me you can fix it with the below in the i3 config, probably something similar in other TWMs. for_window [title="Microsoft Teams Notification"] floating enable Still not as useful as system notifications but it doesn't explode whatever I'm working on!
- oldmanhorton 7y agoWindows has an option to use native notifications, idk if that's where their headed towards or just an experiment
- kabes 7y agoThat's weird, since sharing each window or tab is standard in most browsers. It's just a 'navigator.mediaDevices.getDisplayMedia' call. So I would expect any webRTC solution to support it.

- deadbunny 7y agoGood to know!
