screen sharing doesn't work on Centos about teams-for-linux

[IsmaelMartinez]

Hi, is this on 1to1 or group chat? I have seen that the 1st page that the app loads sometimes don't get the "screensharing" enabled. Can you check if by going to another group chat and then back to the one you where trying to use it works? Might need to increase the "timeout" that waits to enable the feature.

[chrisgns]

It just doesn't work, not 1to1 not in a meeting. It works in Chrome, anyway to enable some kind of debugging?

[IsmaelMartinez]

you can start the app with --webDebug and you will get the chrome devtools

[IsmaelMartinez]

Also, if you where using a previous version, you probably need to clean the cache/history.

Let me know how you get on with that. I had a similar issue while testing the user agent just now and had to clean the "history"

[IsmaelMartinez]

Hi @chrisgns , I assume this is sorted, so I will close the issue. Reopen otherwise.

[chrisgns]

Sorry, I was away on a business trip. It doesn't work, I tried a second computer and deleted the history completely, but the camera for starting the video calls is still greyed out and is showing the tooltip that video is not yet supported in my browser.
@IsmaelMartinez , I don't know to reopen, but it is not solved, using 0.1.16.

[IsmaelMartinez]

Have you tried running from source? or dowloading the tar.gz and running it from there..

Or installing another package type... (snap or AppImage).

[chrisgns]

I tried rpm and tar.gz, both failed, I don't know how to run it from source. Christoph Outlook für Android<https://aka.ms/ghei36> herunterladen

Hi, I tried the master branch today on a VM with Centos 7, I can share the screen with no issues (some warnings but nothing critical), I even made a one to one and works with good quality (maybe the bug #61 is related with screen resolution as the VM has lower resolution)

yarn run v1.15.2

But the version 0.1.16 doesn't show the screen sharing option and the voice call option pop ups a warning about browser support.

Also, packaged master (currently 0.1.17) branch on .rpm, used it and worked fine.

So, I think that this can be mark as fixed and the next build version will fix your issue @chrisgns

BTW, @chrisgns , if you want to test the source you have to install yarn, Nodejs, gcc-c++, make and libXScrnSaver. Then run yarn install && yarn start on the source code folder.

Hi @chrisgns ,

Can you check if the screenshare work if you set chrome as your default browser?

It should not be needed... but is one of those things that might be the reason... hope helps,

Ismael

[chrisgns]

Sorry for the late reply, but it still does not work. I was setting Chrome as default, bus nothing changed.

Hello I got the same issue on fedora, I am using cinnamon desktop and it fails.
But it tried in oopenbox and it works

[IsmaelMartinez]

You might need to start then teams with and argument to tell it to use another "desktop".

I don't have the time this week but have a look at other close issues related to the icon don't looking right. It wasn't the solution but one of those "try this".

Sorry I can't be more useful this week.
