I was just invited to do a job interview through Teams (next week).

I guess it’s https://teams.live.com/free ?
And I guess they would invite me so I don’t have to worry about having an MS account, afaics?

I opened the site on Ungoogled Chromium, it seems to work fine. The hardware is: Thinkpad T430s (10yo). Of course it has a web cam & microphone.
There’s a device test https://devicetest.teams.microsoft.com/ which did not return any issues, but did not show me a working connection either. There is no test call functionality.

I’d prefer to test full functionality beforehand, is there a way to do this?

Or experiences?

TIA

edit: my smartphone runs an even obscurer OS than Debian.

edit2: the “make a test call” functionality seems to be part of the desktop app only. Is there one for Linux?

edit3: now support.microsoft.com is blocking me. WTF

edit4: the inofficial Teams for Linux is not an option either because I still need an MS account.

      There was an official Linux app but it was discontinued a while ago. There was also an unofficial flatpak which packaged the web version as a stand-alone app. I think it’s unmaintained now.

        That’s unfortunate but fortunately it works in the browser, which is my preferred method anyway. I never even bothered to try the app. Zoom tries to make me install the app every time I open a meeting, which is infuriating.

      Thanks, browser for sure. Any idea about Ungoogled Chromium and/or how I can test audio/video routing on the OS?
