This has been possible on my business M365 like forever. But yeah they're pushing their own authenticator too which is annoying. It's Microsoft's way though. Always locking you in. Same with ms365 web which never works properly in Firefox.

To be fair, MS365 apps are frequently miserable in Edge and "natively" too. Just a few issues of Teams and Teams only: - statuses getting stuck or being null - having to relogin despite the current token still clearly working - outright crashing on JS level (fixed) - never finishing loading in, requiring a browser cache wipe (fixed) - lying about messages having been delivered - messages getting dropped from mid conversation when scrolling back in history - message history being rewritten live as things are catching up - @everyone pings arriving localized (wtf??) - the wrong flyout menu appearing when clicking something (???), e.g. you try to screenshare but the emoji selector shows up (fixed?) - various localization oversights, like the calendar flyouts starting on the wrong day of the week, various strings not being translated - if you happen to call someone at the same time they call you, buckle up, cause stuff's about to go potentially very wild - getting into a call doesn't actually put you in the call sometimes, necessitating a full system restart (how even???) - custom embeds for certain sites instead of just using OpenGraph, so when you link e.g. the Wikipedia article about C++, you get told it's a carcinogenic substance (debatable) group called "IARC group 2B" - software vs hardware mute desync, sometimes resulting in a rapid fire on/off fight - sometimes buggy at-mention tokenization behavior that triggers webhooks as many times as there are spaces in the mentioned identity's name ... and I'm sure there are countless more. Some of these are genuine dealbreaker level, that I'm confident they only get away with because of their ecosystem grip. Using Discord would be a million times nicer I swear.

  Ah yes the first few are some of the biggest annoyances in Firefox. I thought it was because of that. I assumed they had made sure it doesn't happen in edge. Guess not. I do have some extra Firefox issues if I don't set my user agent to edge. Like copy paste uploads not working. If I set the UA to edge they suddenly work fine :X The status stuck is so annoying. You see someone that's green, send them a message and instantly after sending it they show as away or something. Grr. I know it's not the user, they can't react that fast. And yeah especially now on Linux the browser experience is important because they discontinued the teams client.
