Re: [orca-list] Accessibility of Microsoft Teams Linux client

[Nolan Darilek <nolan thewordnerd info>]

Could be that it wasn't built with a new enough Electron. I have it 
installed via Flatpak and it is also inaccessible here.


Can you use the regular web interface? Our company thought about using 
it for a while, which is why I installed the client. We chose not to, so 
I never needed to work with the web interface to see if it was usable. 
But I have it on reasonably good authority from a Microsoft employee 
that its accessibility isn't bad.
