Teams-for-linux: Screen Sharing No Longer Working

[JoaoRXFernandes]

Describe the bug
Stopped working yesterday with "Desktop sharing isn't supported in your browser yet"

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Xubuntu
• Installation package deb
• Version 0.4.0

[IsmaelMartinez]

yeah, seems like MS have changed the underneath implementation of it so our "hack" doesn't work anymore.

I got no time currently so it might take a wee while to get this supported.

[JoaoRXFernandes]

If you point me in the right direction I can try and have a look?

[IsmaelMartinez]

The best place to start is in https://github.com/IsmaelMartinez/teams-for-linux/issues/19

All the code is under the "browser" folder.

[CarlosLanderas]

It's happening to me as well! :_(

Just adding a not very useful "me too"

[lumeche]

I'm in the same ship. The desktop sharing is no not working for me neither

[IsmaelMartinez]

ok, can someone test branch fix-194-screensharing-not-working ? is another hack (telling that we are the desktop client) but it works on my case... so it might work again on yours. You will need to build from source and I don't have the time this weekend for more than this hack. Maybe on Monday I can have a deeper look/test, and/or if it works, release it.

[IsmaelMartinez]

you will need to clean your ~/.config/Electron space as there is a userAgent change... if you have ever build this from source. Thanks in advance!

I can confirm that issue fixed in branch fix-194-screensharing-not-working
Thank you so much!

[IsmaelMartinez]

thanks for testing. can people test that mentions and 1-on-1 meetings still work? (including desktop share). Those are the things that in the past have suffer from changes in that area. I will open now the PR(https://github.com/IsmaelMartinez/teams-for-linux/pull/195) and if I see people not reporting issue from that branch I might even merge it into develop (so available in snap/edge channel). I will be surprised if I manage to fix it in just a few hours without breaking something else.

[IsmaelMartinez]

I had another quick check and reverted the comments (but still "telling" we are a desktop).

That works for me so I will be merging to snap edge soon (building now). I really need you people to confirm this works in edge before I release it. Thanks in advance!

Hi @IsmaelMartinez

Sorry about the delay, I'm very happy to report that branch is working for me as well!

Please do merge it in; would be grand if you could roll out a deb package as well when you have a chance.

Thanks so much for this project, great example of how open source can work wonders!

Now if only MS would learn to not only take but also give a little back (as in starting with supporting their systems on the platform that they keep on taking from...)...

Thanks again,

Joao

[IsmaelMartinez]

It's in snap edge. I will try to prepare the release Monday. Please report either way if snap edge is working or not. Did a few tests yesterday night and couldn't find any issues.

[IsmaelMartinez]

it should be released soon as 0.5.0. Check later today for a deb package. Thanks for testing.

Works for me! :+1:
