I don’t know much about Teams (we’re a Google Workspace/Meet shop) but I know they are selling all sorts of crazy access rights packages because any given Teams group I meet with, if they send the invite, it’s a different connection experience. You need an account. You need an account on their domain. You don’t need an account, but you need a guest account. You need your own account with Microsoft. You need a user name. You don’t need a username. It works on my phone, or not. It works in the browser, or not. It works in the desktop app, or not.
What. The. Hell?!
- casenmgreen 4y agoYes. I once tried to use Teams on Linux. Eventually, I discovered buried in the package description text in Synaptic package manager that "this software only works with a corporate MS account". This information could not be found on-line, the error messages were completely incorrect, there was negative on-line support - which is to say, there's a public forum MS run which has a bunch of confused people asking what the hell is going on (they were having my problem) and being given wrong answers by "I don't work for MS, I just help out here on this forum".
- themoonisachees 4y agoAs a sysadmin who has had the displeasure of working on window server, this experience is consistent across most Microsoft products. Random forums, one guy asking for info but he doesn't work for ms, just knows a lot. Makes you wonder how he learned that in the first place.
