Thanks for the feedback, unfortunately the application is not extensible and Carousel is a hack and a workaround. Video calls on Linux in Chrome are not supported yet, but with a user agent change seem to work. I will check the overall state and update the documentation accordingly. In the meantime you can try this workaround:
Thanks! I tried following the instructions, but most of the mentioned individual settings in chrome://flags are not there on my version (Version 81.0.4044.129 (Official Build) snap (64-bit)). I suspect those instructions were meant for an older version.
Anyway, spoofing the user agent and enabling only the "Experiments" flags that I could find was not sufficient; the option for video calls was still greyed out.
Thanks for the suggestion anyway. I will make more experiments.
I just checked Teams shows videos on Chromium (81.0) running on Debian 10 (kernel 4.19). So for the purpose of the carousel it works because you need to see incoming videos, even if you don't send the local one.
I tried, but I can't even see the button to join incoming video calls:
On Linux I see this .
On the app I see this: .
Checking this case. So far I joined using the URL
Video calls are not supported under Chromium/Linux: hovering the mouse over the video call gives the error message "Video isn't supported in your browser yet". Since this plugin does not work in the native Teams app, currently I don't think there is a way to have Carousel working on a Linux system.
If there is a way, it would be good to have it mentioned in the docs.
