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

Hi.
Today I attended another meeting and while exploring the screen I found a show conversation button.
I pressed that button and asked someone to send me a message via chat. The message was read by the orca.
As the meeting was over, I was unable to run any more tests. In the next meetings I will do more tests and report the result here.
I am running orca compiled from master and chromium Version 84.0.4115.0 (Developer Build) (64-bit)

Thanks all for your suggestions.
The web version isn't bad but as has been mentioned, you don't get notifications of new chat messages - but its better than nothing.
I've tried various flags when calling teams with no luck - also tried the enable_accessibility=1 environment variable.
I'm on Fedora with Orca master so my installation method is via an RPM file. 

Regards,

Nick

I tried to use teams-for-linux using FF but received a message that the browser is not compatible with teams. 

The suggested browser is chrome.
Coincidentally, I will need to participate in a team meeting in a little while and I hope I can do it using chromium.

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.

mount a snap file as squashfs and try to run it without installing in from a snap. Run the teams binary with --force-renderer-accesibility flag. It may work, but not in every cases.

Hi Nick,
Yes I confirm Orca stays silent but maybe someone has a solution? After I install with: 

sudo snap install teams-for-linux

I starts it in a terminal I notice the followoing message:
configPath = /home/milton/snap/teams-for-linux/79/.config/teams-for-linux 
Failed to get the config file, using default values
configFile = {}
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Failed: cannot use setting "default-url-scheme-handler": not allowed 
processArgs [ '/snap/teams-for-linux/79/teams-for-linux' ]

Hi all,
At work I need to use Microsoft Teams - which is basically the replacement for Skype for Business. Currently I have a Windows VM for this however I've noticed they now do a Linux client. 

When I start it up, I get nothing announced by Orca.
So far I've figured out that it includes some chromeium libs, uses GTK and node.js. 

I'm affraid that's the limit of my development knowledge.
Has anybody else tried Teams or could they point me in the direction of things to try?
If its just not accessible in its current form then that's fine - but if there's something I can tweak to make it work then that would be great. 

Regards,

Nick
