Why a simple cp instead of an install:

package(){
 cp -r "opt" "$pkgdir"
 cp -r "usr" "$pkgdir"
}

Also a symlink on default path is not created like with the teams-for-linux package.

Check the package step of teams-for-linux for further ideas.

the new version sigsevs unfortunately:

the key is "GTK 2/3 symbols detected. Using GTK 2/3 and GTK 4 in the same process is not supported", this is a known upstream issue:

https://github.com/IsmaelMartinez/teams-for-linux/issues/1731

workaround is to add "-gtk-version=3" as a startup option.

Sorry, my mistake for flagging. True, there is no release yet, only new pre-release.

Ok, I will make ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT happpen :)

@programistazacny: Please do not flag the package as out-of-date when there is actually no official new release.

1.13.2, as of now, is clearly marked as "pre-release" on the GitHub page. We are tracking stable releases with this AUR package.

@programistazacny:

I don't see the point in adding a wrapper like the one you mentioned. If you set the ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT environment variable the application will run natively on Wayland and not through XWayland.

At least that's the behaviour I'm seeing on Hyprland.

It works then on XWayland.

Can you make something similar like https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/visual-studio-code-bin.sh?h=visual-studio-code-bin ?

@programistazacny:

Just launch '/opt/teams-for-linux/teams-for-linux', nothing special required to make it work under Wayland.

You can set ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=auto in the environment configuration of your choice (/etc/environment, ~/.profile, etc.).

How to run it using Wayland?

Sadly https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/teams-for-linux-wayland-hook doesn't work. Menu entries are using /opt/teams-for-linux/teams-for-linux directly. This package doesn't provide /*/bin launcher.

Patch to upgrade to latest version (1.12.3):

Please note that there seems to be an issue with audio input (supposedly on Microsoft side), affecting this package as well.
