"Classic Teams will soon be unavailable for use" warning header #1156
Comments
Same here, see #1141 |
I am getting the same deprecation warning as well:
It would be sad to lose teams-for-linux, I really like it, and I don't want to use the PWA from Microsoft. |
I have the same problem. |
I used this method (shared in various threads here) to force Teams v2. Right-click the Teams icon in the taskbar, then select the Debug option. Select the Console tab at the top of the debug screen. Type the following in the console at the bottom of the debug screen, then hit Enter:
If that does not work, follow the same steps but type both of the following commands (with an Enter after each):
It should automatically load Teams v2 after a restart.. |
Same message for me, with the latest 1.14.15 version of Teams for Linux |
The fix proposed by @ChristoSnake worked for me! Thanks a lot! ❤️ |
Works for me. Is this is change persistent? |
How can the debug option be accessed from Gnome with the Flatpak app version? |
|
In teams, you can also press Alt and a gnome window menu will appear. The Debug menu is in "Application" |
Alternatively, in Teams, hit CTRL+D |
Thank you all, I cannot see the icon in the toolbar because an extension hides it. Anyway, both CTRL+D and Alt trick work. |
As per other comments, I had this issue on the 1.4.15 version. Using the steps @ChristoSnake put out has fixed the issue. Thank you! |
This worked for me as well, thank you! 🥇 |
I can confirm #1156 (comment) is working in the Teams snap on Ubuntu Edit: it appears this also survives restarts of the Teams snap. |
I'm getting this message in the web version under Linux. I'm on Fedora 39, Chrome 122.0.6261.128 (Official Build) (64-bit). The requirements page don't mention browser requirements. |
The fix of @ChristoSnake works and is persistent, until you log out to switch account. I am working from 2 Teams accounts and whenever I need to switch I also need to apply the V2 fix again. Can't this fix somehow be integrated in Teams for Linux? Because without it, soon the application will not work out of the box. |
I can't believe Microsoft is in the midst of removing ALL SUPPORT for Linux, even in the web version. Just goes to show that they haven't changed at all. |
I see it in our company:
so Microsoft should consider why this is the case... |
I am confused. Where did you get the info that they would remove all Linux support? I thought the PWA was created for all sorts of operating systems. |
I'm on the web version and I still got that message. It may be just a technical mistake by Microsoft.. but this is the requirements page I'm pointed to: requirements and I see a lot of references to unsupported OS. Hopefully Microsoft clarifies this. |
But if the fix suggested by ChristoSnake works for this Electron client, shouldn't you be able to just do the same in your browser and you're good to go again? 😄 Microsoft is not necessarily dropping any support for linux, it is "dropping support" for the Teams classic version |
confirmed here the debug commands worked. I have multiple organizations in Teams and looks good. Debian 12.5 on XFCE
|
Thanks for the idea. I can confirm that the fix works for Linux PWA as well. |
It seems that they support Firefox (except WPA) and Chrome/Edge (including WPA): This extension will do the trick if you really want to run it as a Firefox WPA. |
The issue is not whether or not the fix works, the fix should work in the browser though for the web app I'm assuming you load it from ms servers every time (more or less). The issue is: is this a sign that Microsoft is dropping Linux support altogether?
The requirements page it is pointing me to isn't mentioning Linux or a path forward for me using their web app. It might just be confusing Microsoft language but it's suspicious. |
where did you see this? |
Trust the devs here 😄 we'll find something out. The app will not stop. It will have the basic functionality. At least clearing the local storage and start over. The new teams will be loaded. But just like I mentioned you can do the basic things like in the web browser, we'll study the |
This is a good short-term solution, but doing this causes Teams to silently crash on almost a daily basis. |
1.4.17 pre-release has this as a config option. Can you open another ticket with the crash information and any steps to reproduce? Ideally with debug logs (from starting the app with --webDebug and whatever you get on the terminal window). Ta |
Thanks @IsmaelMartinez and @mhenselin for the update. So those are the steps to use it with Ubuntu & Snap currently:
|
The Flatpak is still on version 1.4.13. Is it reasonable to wait a few days longer or should I just switch to the Edit: |
You could also use the AppImage instead with almost no extra effort to run it (besides +x permissions). |
for the flathub, see #1151 . We are working on it and it should be released at some point, but is now on the flathub side as they review each release manually. |
Looks like 1.4.16 made it into Flathub: However just FYI after restarting Teams I'm still getting the warning header described in this issue, and no toggle to switch to v2. I know I can manually switch the Teams URL to v2 in the debug settings, but I'd prefer to stick to the the classic version for now because #1172 is a major issue for my needs. But it looks like there's still a bit of time left, at least for my account, as my IT department has notified us that classic Teams will continue to work through the end of June. Not sure why others have reported that classic Teams stopped working already for them. |
For reference, the problem is (probably) not local to this project I use teams as a website in plain Chromium* and I get the same banner message (Searching for solutions to use in Chromium is how I found this issue tracker.) * I'm on |
With v1.4.17 I had to specify the added config option to get into v2 again: I was by default reverted to v1, following the quick & dirty fix provided early in this issue |
I just figured out that for web version you can directly go to https://teams.microsoft.com/v2/ |
Are you using Firefox or this app? |
what to do if config file |
I think you can just create it. That's what I read in some README of the project, IIRC. |
Yep, that's what I had to do: #1172 (comment) |
I am using Firefox. For Chromium it does not seem to work. I get redirected to the old version. |
Hi @newptcai , nice to know but I would appreciate it if we just keep this for the teams-for-linux app, as otherwise it gets really confusing. Thanks again |
Hi, I keep getting the banner proposing to enable the new version, but although I keep doing that, it seems that at each restart the setting is lost, I go back to v1 and see the banner again. I don't recall having this problem with the previous version (I'm using the flatpak package), where I was just applying the workarounds suggested in the debugger. Any ideas? |
I think all versions of this app default to v1 but you can opt in to V2.
Just create a config file with the optIn..., useMutation... and url ending
in /v2 and let us know if that sorts your problem.
Be aware that Flatpack is a bit behind (I don't think the useMutation.. is
there yet) and the config file is in another location

Thanks, my config.json now looks like this, I'll monitor the situation for the V1 banner in the next days:
(file path for those interested, at least on opensuse: |
didn't work for me without setting |
Recently I received a message on logging in. I didn't think to write it down but it was something like "Your organization is moving to v2 click here to change." Since then, things have been fine and the banner disappeared (from, again, the chromium website version of teams.) So this'll be my last message here except: I hope your projects' issue will solve automatically as well. |
With the current version - at least 1.4.25 - this issue can be closed. |
FYI - the change described in #1156 (comment) is not persistent if you are using the Appimage version, and as of 1.4.27 the workaround is still need to be enter manually, unless you create the file
|
On Ubuntu 22.04LTS and using the Appimage for 1.4.27, the workaround mentioned in #1156 (comment) is still needed Creating the file |
@jmcastagnetto I would also add useMutationTitleLogic to the list of config options if you want to get the number of unread messages in the systray. At some point we will make them the default options, but only once v1 is been fully deprecated (and/or if we sort all the angular to react issues)
|
v1 still available until July 2025. So, there is still lot of time for adjustment |
@dtantono Yes, but for some of the colleagues I work with, their institution has already migrated to the new API, and their setup is such that w/o the workaround mentioned here (#1156 (comment)), the Linux client would not be able to edit files in a collaborative manner. |
