back to article Better late than never: Microsoft rolls out a public preview of E2EE in Teams calls

Microsoft has finally kicked off the rollout of end-to-end-encryption (E2EE) in its Teams collaboration platform with a public preview of E2EE for one-to-one calls. It has been a while coming.

    Fix Linux support

    As I'm forced to use teams for work. I'd be happier with decent Linux support. I'm fed up with having to kill and restart when I change volume or microphone/speaker source.

      Re: Fix Linux support

      I don't get that amount of grief, but the Linux client does seem to be a bit of a beast to the extent that I only fire up the client for video calls, doing everything else in the browser. Video calls don't work in Firefox it seems.

      My major bugbear is that on one laptop - and only that one laptop - every time I launch the Teams client it resets my keyboard mapping (from UK to US), and the only way to get it back after quitting the app is to go into the keyboard settings (where it shows the correct setting), change it to something else and then change it back to the correct one.

      I mean, just, why?

    Limited?

    Might have a different definition of limited here, but I'd imagine desktop clients for Windows and Mac, plus Android and iOS covers the vast majority of users

    What an absolute bargle fest of shite

    Teams is the probably THE worst program I have had the painful misfortune to have to use in... decades.

    It needs to be put out of everyone's misery, yesterday. I've seen dogs eat crayons and... well, you've heard this one before.
