PWA comparison and contrast

[jeisinge]

How does creating Teams as a pseudo-PWA (More Tools > Create shortcut...) compare and contrast to this project?

The major pros of this project that I know about are:

• Links open in the default browser like Firefox.
• Restricted access to the system.
• (Potentially) better version alignment through specific user agent / chromium versions.

Anything else? Is this documented anywhere?

Thanks @jeisinge, once this project was at the edge of being archived due to official MS client was getting attention. So the documentation is not up to date. But we're active. Runs on latest chromium. We keep updating the app with every minor electron version updates too. Trying to add new features. Not perfect though 😄 With everyeone's support, we can make this even better.

The sad reality. Ubuntu software centre. If they report there problems here we could help.

I can add two more:

• Links open in the default browser like Firefox.
• Restricted access to the system.
• (Potentially) better version alignment through specific user agent / chromium versions.
• Taskbar icon with notifications.
• Does not quit, but minimises to taskbar instead (similar behaviour to MS Teams).

another options are:

• been able to use clientcertificates for authentication
• apply css customisations
• custom background support (fixed as for https://github.com/IsmaelMartinez/teams-for-linux/releases/tag/v1.4.36)
• incommingCallNotification scripts (this is currently broken for teamsv2)
• multi account support (Multi-tenant feature #438 (comment) ) - The title currently don't work but you can still change the icon so you know what notifications are from each account.
