Question: Is there a way to force classic teams v1? about teams-for-linux HOT 6 CLOSED

So I've managed to update to version 1.4.37, the notification count is working as expected and there's no reason to stay on version 1 for me.

Big thanks to everyone who's contributed to the teams-for-linux app and who's made Teams v2 available in it!

This means your organization is forcing you to switch to the new one. What's stopping you.

For me the reason not to switch is that the notification count in the system tray does not work in Version 2 (mentioned e.g., in this comment). That's why I'm postponing the switch to the last possible moment and hope that by then, the notifications count will work correctly.

@tppawelgrzesik, you can get around the dialog with these steps:

1. Open the Developer Tools (Ctrl-Shift-I)
2. Select the elements picker:
3. Click inside the grayed-out area. This should focus the Elements tab of the Developer Tools
4. Right-click on the highlighted element (or possibly a higher level element) that says class="ngdialog ts-modal-dialog app-switcher-install-by-policy-dialog"
   
5. In the context menu, select "Delete element"

Note that the next time you restart Teams for Linux, you'll see the dialog again.

Hi @jakubbortlik , the notification count should be working in v2. We did a fix a few versions ago so 1.4.37 should have that working.

The only part that ain't working yet is the incomming notification scripts and a few other activityHub features, but we will get to them

Hi @IsmaelMartinez, thanks for the message and thanks for your work on the app! I'm currently using version 1.3.22 because that's what my OS (Manjaro Linux) offers. I'll try to upgrade manually if it's not updated soon in the distro.

closing as we can't really force to keep on teams v1 as the company policy will force you to switch to v2. If you got any specific issue that is forcing you to stay with v1, let us know and we can see if there is already a fix and/or can prioritised.
