Teams but (actually) good works on desktop by downloading the downloader for your operating system.
The desktop version is not 100% maintained, meaning that issues might occur more often than on the extension, which is recommended to use in corporate environment. If you find any issue on the desktop version, please make an issue on GitHub
Teams but (actually) good never touch the real Teams app, only a Tauri V2 app which just show the Teams website is actually getting modified by the plugins and themes.
Operating System
Works ?
Info
Windows
Works without any issues.
Linux
Might not work well on certain distro + same issue as MacOS with the Company Portal.
MacOS
Not able to connect to account that requires the Company Portal. To fix this you must use the extension, that’s the only “good” way to fix that issue
To download the files, heads up on the website and select your operating system, then follow the instruction on the installer.
