MS-Teams

• Every UZH member has a MS-Teams Account.

  • Use your official UZH institutes email address (...@math.uzh.ch) to login.

  • If you can't login, set a password for account Active Directory under https://identity.uzh.ch

Using MS-Teams

• MS-Teams via Browser: https://teams.microsoft.com

• MS-Teams Client: Windows & Mac - via App Store

• MS-Teams Client: Linux - DEB Version - Outdated - https://web.archive.org/web/20221130115842/https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/ms-teams/pool/main/t/teams/teams_1.5.00.23861_amd64.deb

• MS-Teams Client: Linux - Google Chrome WPA (installation see below)

Thinlinc (Linux)

• In Thinlinc, there is currently no WebCam Support!

• Chat, Audio and Screen share is fine

• Menu > Teams (to find it quickly, type 'teams' in the input field). There are two or three options:

• 'Repair MS-Teams': use this to fix problems in the DEB installation - after 'repair', you have to log in to MS-Teams again.
• 'Microsoft Teams': PWA installation.
• 'Microsoft Teams - Preview': Outdated DEB installation.

Linux: MS-Teams via PWA

Activate MS-Teams as PWA installation - recommended

• In Google Chrome (only this browser is supported for the MS-Teams PWA app) open https://teams.microsoft.com

• Log in.

• Allow desktop notifications

• Install the PWA

• From now on, start the PWA via start menu:

• After installation, you'll find also a start icon on the Desktop.
• PWA does not have a dedicated notification icon in the border panel - instead you'll see new message notifications in the general notification area.

• To bring MS-Teams to the front, press Alt-Tab or start MS-Teams again.

Problem with audio

Using audio (mic/speaker) in MS-Teams on Thinlinc is fine, but needs some attention after powering on the terminal:

• Power on terminal
• Unplug / plug the headset

• If thinlinc is already conntected: F8 > disconnect and log in again.

• If MS-Teams still has a problem: quit MS-Teams and start MS-Teams again.

Test call:

• DEB version of MS-Teams: Settings > Devices > Test call.

• PWA version of MS-Teams: Menu > pavu (Pulse Audio Volume Control) > Input Devices > Tunnel: flickering when you speak
