Bypass Microsoft Teams block

Álvaro González
Álvaro González

I'm trying to use Microsoft Teams in Firefox because the native app for Linux is abandoned and crashes, and at first sight the app is blocking Firefox on purpose. Buttons to make calls are disabled, stating that audio and video are not supported in my browser, but everything works normally if join to existing calls using e.g. links.

Is it possible to trick Teams to think I'm using Chrome? I found the "User-Agent Switcher and Manager" add-on, but I can't figure out how to possibly use it.

It looks exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

(Upon install, it didn't work at all and then Firefox crashed. It's working after restart.)
