I was just invited to do a job interview through Teams (next week).

I guess it’s https://teams.live.com/free ?
And I guess they would invite me so I don’t have to worry about having an MS account, afaics?

I opened the site on Ungoogled Chromium, it seems to work fine. The hardware is: Thinkpad T430s (10yo). Of course it has a web cam & microphone.
There’s a device test https://devicetest.teams.microsoft.com/ which did not return any issues, but did not show me a working connection either. There is no test call functionality.

I’d prefer to test full functionality beforehand, is there a way to do this?

Or experiences?

TIA

edit: my smartphone runs an even obscurer OS than Debian.

edit2: the “make a test call” functionality seems to be part of the desktop app only. Is there one for Linux?

edit3: now support.microsoft.com is blocking me. WTF

edit4: the inofficial Teams for Linux is not an option either because I still need an MS account.

    I’m pretty sure I want to use the browser (Ungoogled Chromium) on my laptop (my phone OS would be even trickier).

    call someone else

    It might come to that. But I do not know who uses MS (and has an account). Apparently at least one party would have to have that.

    Webcam quality was an issue

    Good point. Does Teams have options to adjust that for low bandwidth?
