Teams apparently can’t call when using Firefox

Teams also doesn’t support multiple “work” accounts, so I had to boot up a laptop to accept the call. 🤷

    Exactly, this is how Microsoft operates. This time they gave an excuse they still allow plenty of other browsers (with the same engine). Google loves it, because it hurts Firefox and they can say they are not responsible for 3rd parties blocking sites.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if this is coordinated based on lessons learned with IE.

      As a bonus it gives companies that want to use or allow Firefox a reason to use Google Workspace because Google Meet works perfectly on Firefox.

        If they want to use Firefox, wouldn’t they also want to use a FOSS meeting software?

      • My org actually uses both, as well as Slack. We use:

        • Teams - most meetings
        • Meet - some meetings w/ outside orgs
        • Slack - 1:1 and small group, impromptu meetings

        I use the Teams and Slack apps, and Meet in the web.
