Clicking on a notification does nothing. about teams-for-linux HOT 3 CLOSED

Hey, strange that stopped working but some people are using the electron notification instead of the web that I believe uses libnotify.

https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/tutorial/notifications#linux

(The link seems to be broken so opened a fix PR to fix that).

Try using that config option and see if it works for you.

There is some info on how to configure it at https://github.com/IsmaelMartinez/teams-for-linux/tree/develop/app/config .

Another thing you can try is to run it with another packaging system. I have seen all weird issues with flatpak and snap configurations.

You can find the packages in the releases section.

By my bet would be on the notification subsystem that is using.

I did try to use Electron and the only thing it did was restore the previous behavior (pre-v2) which means clicking on the notification brings the app forward, but that's it. It doesn't go to the message, and it only really does anything when the app is minimized. If the app is closed (minimized to tray) it doesn't even do anything, with either of the two notification methods.

Hi @AchillesBoi , I believe this is just a limitation on the app. We can't know the message or chat we have to open.

We try to bring it back to focus, but in some desktop environments electron ain't that clever and thinks the app is on focus when it is actually minimised (or the other way around, I don't remember now), but that unfortunately is a electron limitation, that hopefully they will solve at some point.

As you managed to restore previous functionality, I will close this to keep things tidy. I think there is a ticket to improve the notifications somewhere (one of the old open tickets), but I will have a wee look later.
