Before marking the package out of date, please first check that the new version is not a pre-release. I'm tracking releases, not pre-releases.

Can you update package to 2.6.3 as it contains quite a few bugfixes?

looks like latest update broke the --class parameter, so all teams windows are now cluttered under same icon on taskbar

looks like there is already a bug reported to mainline development project, https://github.com/IsmaelMartinez/teams-for-linux/issues/1885

@pschichtel Created a screen and put this also upstream: https://github.com/IsmaelMartinez/teams-for-linux/issues/1759

You can find there side-by-side comparison what I am talking about :)

in ~/.config/sway/config I have a line: output HDMI-A-1 scale 2.0

So translating to gnome it is 200% (it is not a fractional scaling but scaling is enabled for this screen)...

pschichtel commented on 2025-07-16 17:31 (UTC)

@manio I do scale to 125% and as I said: it definitely runs as a native wayland client.

manio commented on 2025-07-16 17:21 (UTC)

@pschichtel you need to have scaling enabled, otherwise there is no problem

There are plenty of reports for electron apps, eg here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/634960/wayland-blurry-hidpi-scaling

pschichtel commented on 2025-07-16 17:08 (UTC)

@manio on my machines it's running with wayland without additional options (at least I don't remember setting anything up)

Hi, I am using this package under sway/wayland. Also using HiDPI with scaling (eg fractional scale). This is leading to problems with ugly/fuzzy fonts when running on such display. To cure this problem I removed /usr/bin/teams-for-linux symlink and put a file there with the following contents:

#!/bin/sh
exec /opt/teams-for-linux/teams-for-linux --ozone-platform-hint=wayland "$@"

And made this file executable. After this it is starting as native wayland app and fonts/UI is crystal clear :) Maybe this would help someone.

@dmark04 and @paulmelis: I've added --gtk-version=3 to the .desktop-file' exec command as suggested in the electron issue related to this problem: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/46538

Can only echo @paulmelis

Here's the full error:

This points to a known upstream error in electron: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/46538

The currently suggested workaround (which also works for me) is to launch with the following keyword teams-for-linux --gtk-version=3
