Is MS Teams on Linux Safe?

I know you can use Teams on Ubuntu. Is it safe, or can MS spy on things outside of Teams?

I don’t think it does anything weird, but why not just use a PWA?

I’m just curious. I haven’t tried it in some time. About a year or more ago when it first became available, I tried it since we need it for work. I was having issues screen sharing and other things. So I gave up.

That’s likely a browser issue. Which one are you on?

Not sure about Teams, but Zoom at one point did not allow screen share when used in a browser.

Using it in a browser instead of the app is the best you can do to limit the privacy risks. Unless you feel comfortable using a VM.

I was using Firefox at the time. In fact, I tried it again last week. Still had troubled. Teams is only available on Linux as a PWA. I was having a lot of trouble getting people to hear me, even though my Blue microphone was showing and selected. I had to revert to the built in laptop mic just to have calls.

Try a chromium-based browser like Brave since many sites work on chromium specifically.

if you use the native app they could, yes, unless you sandbox it

relevant. Sandboxes the web app in Electron
