Teams apparently can’t call when using Firefox
Teams also doesn’t support multiple “work” accounts, so I had to boot up a laptop to accept the call. 🤷
Teams is shit in any form. Slowest app to launch on my M2 MacBook Pro, but it’s what we use where I work so I have no choice.
Does it work if you change your user agent?
Yep it does, funnily enough
So it’s just an arbitrary restriction as a “fück you” to people using FF

Frankly it is garbage anyway. We currently use it in my company and there’s no other option and I think teams is the worst conferencing app so far.
I’ve been open minded to it but got my first impression of it in the wild recently when we had a meeting with an intl supplier that uses it, and have to agree it sucked. Aside from the organiser being late, everyone else was ready to start, but other parties on supplier end could not approve our entry because they didn’t set the meeting. Apparently we could work around it if we created Microsoft accounts.within 30 seconds I started an instant Google meet and sent them a pre-approved link to join, and upon joining the call they expressed surprise about how easy that was.
You could have also tried with jitsi since it is foss and doesn’t require an account.
Yeah, just the company uses G Suite so I defaulted to the platform my boss was comfortable with. Comment not intended to promote Google products
