Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS:
  $ uname -a
  Linux xxxxxxxxxx 4.2.0-38-generic #45~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 9 09:27:51 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
• Installation package deb
• Version 0.2.0

Additional context
I have successfully used the same version of teams-for-linux on another machine. I thought the teams-for-linux configures the embedded Chrome so that UserAgent and other settings are recognized by Teams code as supported. For some reason that doesn't work in that case.

Hi,

The user Agent changes to another version of chrome and it does, indeed, add some flags after around 3 seconds. It might be that 3 seconds is not enough in all the cases and needs to be increased.

Did that user had a previous version installed?
Can you clear the ~/.config/teams-for-linux folder and try again?

I have rarely seen similar case, but tend to work again by stopping the call, moving to another group and back to the group/or person that you are trying to call, and starting it again.

Not really looking into changing/improving much that area as MS itself is planning to add support to it, so not worth the extra effort. Let me know how you get on.

[IsmaelMartinez]

Closing, reopen if you still have the issue.

[avodonosov]

Thanks for the response.

Removed ~/.config/teams-for-linux, unfortunately, doesn't help, the issue remains.

as MS itself is planning to add support to it

Do you have a link? On the forums I saw MS just closed the ticket. People were complaining so MS reopened the ticket, but without any promise to work on it.

[avodonosov]

reopen if you still have the issue.

There is no button to reopen.

[IsmaelMartinez]

I think this is the same as #64 .

Can you try with the argument explain in there? (using another "desktop" in the starting arguments)

[IsmaelMartinez]

Also, I think is the same as #100

[IsmaelMartinez]

Closing as it does smell like duplicate.

[avodonosov]

The ticket was reported from LXDE. Now I also tried XFCE and Unity - still doesn't work.

At the same time, on another machine screen sharing works OK under LXDE.

[IsmaelMartinez]

Can you try running from code? I can only suspect on the delay. Can you try to find differences between the env? Like, does both have cameras?

I'm getting this issue now as well in Ubuntu 18.04 with Gnome. It was working fine, I stopped sharing, then when I tried to start again this error started coming up. I can't seem to get around it with any of the recommended fixes (using teams-for-linux_0.4.0_amd64.deb from here in GitHub).

[rojaro]

Screensharing worked for me yesterday, but today i also get this message ... running Archlinux and Gnome.

[IsmaelMartinez]

@rojaro and @Fmstrat , can you check in #100 as is where the more things we tried. It does smell like system configuration. Also, open another bug issue if you seek more help and reference this old issues.

[rojaro]

Tried removing ~/.config/teams-for-linux
Tried building 0.4.0 from code using AUR
Removed package and ran AppImage from release page
Still no success with screensharing :(

[rojaro]

FYI ... my configuration has not changed at all. No updated packages, nor reboot. Yesterday it worked, today it doesn't.

see #194 . MS has changed something on their side and f###d us
