No option to select audio device for meetings about teams-for-linux HOT 6 CLOSED

Maybe using a cleaner option to allow Audio/video calls can solve this issue:

https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-Teams/TEAMS-and-LINUX-The-Future-is-Now/m-p/355250/highlight/true#M26671

Basically it sets a value in the settings that enables this function:
angular.element(document).injector().get('callingSupportService').oneOnOneCallingEnabled = true
angular.element(document).injector().get('settingsService').appConfig.enableCallingChromeOneOnOne = true

Hi @tulanian, I can see that in Microsoft Edge (windows 10) the Speaker option is also not available so is a Microsoft Edge issue.

Elaborating:
We are using Edge as the user agent but doing quite a hack (moving from Chrome to Edge on start) so that we have the video and mentions working.

They accept issues/ideas in their public channel (one of the top 3 is the linux client... that hopefully one day will remove the need of this project):

Workaround:
I don't use fedora myself but maybe you can bypass this by setting the default audio (assume using the pavucontrol but not sure (https://fedoramagazine.org/precise-audio-control-with-fedora/)). In any case, is really annoying needing to change the audio setting every single time you get into a meeting. (another one for Microsoft official channel)

Another option, but less elegant from my point of view, is to use version 0.1.7.
You will not be able to use video calls as it uses the Chrome user agent.
There are a few other things that don't work on that version like drag and drop, it doesn't persist the session and it doesn't focus you to the teams windows when you click on a notification.

Closing as it is the current Microsoft Edge behavior so Microsoft should be dealing with it (or allowing video to the chrome user agent!!)

I am not sure when I will be able to have a look at this, but sounds like a better workaround than switching user agent. Reopening and adding "help wanted" to see if someone else can try it. Thanks!!

Ok, this is now been release as part of the release 0.1.15. Thanks again @julian-alarcon for pointing out the alternative solution to the userAgent hack!

Video calls aren't working for me in 0.1.15, it looks like one of the options from the previous comment is missing. If I add:
angular.element(document).injector().get('callingSupportService').oneOnOneCallingEnabled = true;
Then it works work.
