My goal is to alter my voice in a particular way and redirect it to MS Teams. I managed to pipe my voice from my headphones microphone to a virtual microphone named wh40k like this: parec -d $PHYSICAL_MIC | sox $FILTERS | pacat -d $VIRTUAL_MIC. In detail, this is my code: VIRTUAL_MIC="wh40k" # Hard-coded headphones microphone name which I got from pactl list PHYSICAL_MIC="alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3-platform-skl_hda_dsp_generic.HiFi__Headphones__sink" # Check for required software: quit if any not found for CMD in parec sox pacat; do if ! command -v "$CMD" &>/dev/null; then echo "Error: $CMD not found.." exit 1 fi done cleanup() { echo "Removing virtual microphone $VIRTUAL_MIC..." pactl unload-module "$MODULE_ID" exit 0 } if ! pactl list sinks short | grep -q "$VIRTUAL_MIC"; then echo "Creating virtual microphone '$VIRTUAL_MIC'..." MODULE_ID=$(pactl load-module module-null-sink \ sink_name=$VIRTUAL_MIC \ sink_properties=device.description="$VIRTUAL_MIC") if [[ -z "$MODULE_ID" ]]; then echo "Error: could not create virtual microphone '$VIRTUAL_MIC'." exit 1 fi else echo "Virtual microphone '$VIRTUAL_MIC' already exists." fi trap cleanup INT TERM echo -e "\nConfigurated sinks:" pactl list sinks short echo -e "\nConfigured sources (monitor):" pactl list sources short echo -e "\nConfiguring '$VIRTUAL_MIC' audio pipeline..." # $PITCH and other filters below are vars like "pitch -750" parec -d "$PHYSICAL_MIC" --raw --format=s16le --rate=44100 --channels=1 | \ sox -t raw -r 44100 -e signed -b 16 -c 1 - -t raw - \ $PITCH $OVERDRIVE $GAIN $REVERB $EQUALIZER $BASS $TREBLE $CHORUS $ECHO | \ pacat --raw --device="$VIRTUAL_MIC".monitor I can confirm that parec | sox works because I tested it with parec | sox | pacat and sox filters were correctly applied. Now I can't use wh40k virt mic on MS Teams: when I select MS Teams > Settings > Devices > Microphone: Monitor of wh40k I can't hear my voice from the Teams test call. Any clue on how could I troubleshoot this? My versions: - MS Teams 1.5.00.23861 (64-bit) - Linux Mint 21 Kernel - 6.8.0-40-generic - pipewire 1.2.7

When I try to open the file tab in any team in Microsoft Teams, it won't load. For the application and Chromium browser, it says: There was a problem reaching this app and for Firefox it says: Something went wrong PrefetchFailure (RenderListDataAsStream (NoConnection)). As far as I know, this applies only to the file tab and nothing else. (File tab refers to MS Teams > Teams > (any team) > (any channel) > Files) I am using Arch Linux.

I have tried various tools like fakecam and blog posts like this (https://elder.dev/posts/open-source-virtual-background/) , however, I just can't get anything to run on my setup (Arch Linux). Can someone help me out and write me a how-to for dummies on how to get a virtual background or blurred background for conferencing tools like Skype, Zoom, Teams on Arch Linux?

There seem to be different kinds of Microsoft Teams links. For example, when I generate a link using the Teams For Linux app, they're of the form: https://teams.live.com/meet/55366767345647 But some invitations are more like: > Microsoft Teams meeting > > Join on your computer, mobile app or room device > > Click here to join the meeting > > Meeting ID: 123 456 411 131 Passcode: CdWX5S > > Download Teams | Join on the web > > Or call in (audio only) > > +1 437-123-7890,,562462542# Canada, Toronto > > Phone Conference ID: 123 678 891# > > Find a local number | Reset PIN Where the link is like: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_MmE2dghgjthggfgftdgk4NTEx%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%2284fa96df-e750-41d3-81b1-850387a4aa42%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%2221d05281-6ac1-49f3-b759-5gfdsgfgfgfsfh82c%22%7d and so the question is how to join through the above link with video. Because I just get caught in a loop of logging in and starting the app without ever joining the meeting itself. Can I enter this meeting ID into the Teams For Linux app somehow? I see no such option. System info: nicholas@mordor:~$ nicholas@mordor:~$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Release: 22.04 Codename: jammy nicholas@mordor:~$ nicholas@mordor:~$ chromium --version Chromium 112.0.5615.49 snap nicholas@mordor:~$ Can I not simply enter the meeting ID somewhere? There's no such option readily apparent.

I would like to use Mattermost as an alternative on Microsoft teams on Linux. How can I configure it as it says that I have to enter my server details, URL and Display name. Do I have to build my own server? The proble with Teams is that I can't hear customer's voice so I try to replace Teams with Mattermost.

I would like to use the standalone MS Teams Linux App to open links, for some reason when I click on them and the web app automatically starts. The button "Join on the Teams app" doesn't work.

I have periodic problems when web browser for some reason selects this "Monitor of Family 17h (Models 10h-1fh) HD Audio Controller Analog Stereo" input source as input. E.g. today it happened with unholy combination of microsoft teams and firefox. How can I delete this device (sink? source?) forever? I get no benefit from its existence. EDIT: I don't know why msteams did pick up this source. Might be because one tab temporarily was "holding" the proper audio source (microphone) Anyway, I want to make it gone. My logic is simple, if it's impossible to select "Monitor of Family 17h (Models 10h-1fh) HD Audio Controller Analog Stereo" in firefox, then I'll never have this problem. I guess I can configure firefox to ignore it, but could there be a pulseaudio solution? I'm running xubuntu 20.04. In pactl list the device looks like this

I used the command below to remove teams permanently:

sudo apt purge teams

However, when I check with sudo apt list | grep teams I see the app names below: (base) user@user-pc:~$ sudo apt list | grep teams WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts. python3-openid-teams/focal,focal 1.2-2 all t1-teams/focal,focal 4.17 all teams-insiders/stable 1.5.00.10453 amd64 teams/stable 1.5.00.10453 amd64 When I attempt to remove those apps, it can't find them. Also, when I reinstall Teams, it remembers my user name from the previous login. This indicates that there are still some config or log files somewhere. How can I completely remove the Microsoft Teams app (with all config files and preferences) from my Ubuntu OS?

For the work I need to join Microsoft Teams sessions. I used to run a Manjaro installation, on which it worked to join the sessions with the Chromium browser. Now I have switched to Fedora, where it doesn't work anymore I just get a message "Sorry, we couldn't connect you. [Retry] [Dismiss]". Somehow I suspect that the issue is somewhere in the pipewire configuration. So I have setup Manjaro in a (VirtualBox) VM and as expected Teams works in Chromium on the Manjaro VM. To find what is causing the trouble on Fedora I have now in total 3 VMs with Debian, Manjaro, and Ubuntu to investigate the difference in the setup. Teams in Chromium not running on: - Fedora: Chromium Version 102.0.5005.115 (Official Build) Fedora Project (64-bit) - Debian: Chromium Version 103.0.5060.114 (Official Build) built on Debian bookworm/sid, running on Debian bookworm/sid (64-bit) Teams in Chromium running: - Manjaro: Chromium Version 103.0.5060.114 (Offizieller Build) Arch Linux (64-Bit) - Ubuntu: Chromium Version 103.0.5060.114 (Official Build) snap (64-bit) Looking at the packages in Debian and Ubuntu, filtering for pulseaudio and pipewire, there is no difference, both of the systems have: gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio, libcanberra-pulse, libpulse-mainloop-glib0, libpulse0, libpulsedsp, pulseaudio-module-bluetooth, pulseaudio-utils, pulseaudio, gstreamer1.0-pipewire, libpipewire-0.3-0, libpipewire-0.3-common, libpipewire-0.3-modules, pipewire-bin/testing, pipewire-media-session, pipewire. Can anyone provide some hint on how to debug this situation or in general pipewire setups?

My computer (Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS), does not remember my business Microsoft account and I need to Login and 2FA each time. Is there a way to remember my Microsoft account?

I tried the solution to disable Wayland in custom.config, received X11 as the server with a restart, not happening. I am using the teams from Microsoft - latest version for X64 system. Screen sharing not happening. With Wayland enabled, using Teams with the latest edge browser, only tabs can be share, selecting options like window, entire screen does not. Am I missing anything? Thanks SKB

i am using arch Linux. my mic runs perfectly well on all my apps ( zoom, ...) but it doesn't seem to be working using Microsoft teams. either the web app(login using Firefox , chrome) or even when installing teams from the AUR. i also didn't found lots of people having the same issue on the arch wiki so i'm posting here for further help. i really appreciate it if someone helps me with that, i'm new to arch. i am using lenovo ideapad 330 . i have installed teams from the aur repo

https://aur.archlinux.org/teams.git 

there is no errors while running from the terminal the command is :

it opens normally. in the device settings in teams the built in audio and mic are selected.

I have multiple accounts on Microsoft Teams which I have to access. On my Android mobile the app allows me to add multiple users and we can manage all the messages from there. But in Linux the Teams client cannot add multiple users Is there any way I can do this in Linux? Even if it's possible to run multiple instance of Teams in isolation?

I am currently using Teams for a master and I would like to blur my backgrounds, do you know any way to do it?

I run from time to time a chkrootkit to make sure my install does not get infected. Today I ran it while MS team was on (I need to use it for my classes). Here is what I found:

Any expert analysis/advice beyond "Don't use this Microsoft/evil corp. software"?

Occasionally Microsoft Teams will decide to continuously utilize 100% CPU of one core and not stop unless it is killed. Is there a better solution to this problem than to kill it and hope it won't do it again soon?

Android has a convenient feature: certain https links that have associated local apps installed are opened directly in these apps, skipping the browser page. How do I achieve this in Linux? I have Zoom installed on my computer. When someone shares a https://zoom.us/j/NNNN link with me and I click it in e.g. Thunderbird, this link is passed to xdg-open. Xdg-open looks at the URI schema "https" and starts the default browser. The browser navigates to this URI and displays a page whose only function is to transform this URI into a different one: zoommtg://zoom.us/join?confno=NNNN. This new URI is in turn passed to xdg-open who launches Zoom. I could not find a ready-made solution so far. I imagine a script that looks beyond the URI schema. For example, if it receives a parameter starting with https://zoom.us/j/ , it ensures that a handler for zoommtg is configured, in which case it rewrites the URI by itself and passes it to the handler. There is supposedly a limited number of popular schemes, so such a script should be relatively simple to maintain. The script could be used either as a wrapper for xdg-open or as a handler for https links. At best I would appreciate a link to an existing software which does that. I’d hate to write a script only for my personal use. If such software doesn’t exist so far, I welcome advice on implementing this in a portable way with a goal to publish it.

Since I use microsoft teams on my Debian buster machine, I get a GUI freeze sometimes: The mouse pointer can still be moved on the screen, but no visible feedback on clicks or keyboard presses. Also no switching to a console with ctrlaltF1 I could not help myself other then sshing to the machine to restart Xorg. The dmesg shows me fingerprints of teams, but I guess the deeper problem must the in the nouveau GPU driver?

I am trying to run Microsoft teams on an Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Desktop. However, every time I try to launch the program, the entire system freezes and becomes completely unresponsive. I have to perform a hard shutdown by holding the power button. How can I fix this?
