Used with Firefox 74.0 – on FreeBSD-CURRENT, to which Microsoft Teams is not ported.

The extension's preset string for Chrome 79 is effective.

This (custom) string from an installed version of Edge did not have the required effect:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.102 Safari/537.36 Edge/18.18363

This terse string was good for 'Meet now' but not for 'Start a new conversation' (it was necessary to click the Format button to get the I-beam pointer):

Chrome/79.0

– this, no good for Meet now:

Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 Chrome/79.0.3945.74 Safari/537.36

– these, conversations invisible:

Chrome/79.0.3945.130 Edge/79.0.3945.130

AppleWebKit/537.36 Chrome/79.0.3945.130 Safari/537.36 Edge/79.0.3945.130

Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 Chrome/79.0 Safari/537.36 Edge/79.0

Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 Chrome/79.0.3945.130 Safari/537.36 Edge/79.0.3945.130

I assume Microsoft Teams dropped support for older versions of Edge (e.g. these with a version number below 20). Only newer Edge browsers are supported - and there they dropped the last "e" in "Edge", so the user agent actually is "Edg/79.0". This was the reason why i made the user agent configurable in the current version 1.1 of this addon, in case there will be some other weird spontaneous changes in Microsoft Teams.

    отлично работает!

    It does literally what it says: fake user agent to bypass Microsoft intentional block (there're other add-ons that purportedly do that, but this one works out of the box and does not require a video tutorial). Don't expect it to fix Teams bugs or accomplish world peace.
    Also, you may need to restart Firefox after installing the add-on (it wasn't functional for me until I did, and it even crashed Firefox).
    By the way, the
    official Teams for Linux Client mentioned has been long abandoned by Microsoft.

    Calls work with video and sound on mac.

    Unfortunately for me, this extension actually made teams meetings refuse to start with a "Sorry, we couldn't connect you" message. Removing this addon resolved the issue, but of course now I get less Teams features since Teams knows I'm on Firefox linux.

    Needs fixing. When installed/activated, Teams in Firefox gets really, really glitchy. Scrolling resets you to several lines above and you can't view the latest messages.

    Works for group calls.
    Screen sharing doesn't work, but that is expected anyways.

    Super add-on!

    It's like the Zoom Redirector add-on but for Microsoft Teams. Clearly we'd all be better off using free / open source software for online meetings, such as Jitsi Meet, and non-free JavaScript is problematic. However, not everyone are prepared to or able to boycott any meeting because it's using Teams.

    Shame on Microsoft and Zoom for using dark patterns to bully people into installing their spyware, and equally many thanks to the developer of this add-on for helping Firefox users attend these meetings in their favourite browser instead.
