Thinlinc

• 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• 'Microsoft Teams - Preview': Outdated DEB installation.

• 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, start the PWA via start menu:

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 alreadey conntected: F8 > disconnect and log in again .

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