I have to use Microsoft Teams for work. I use the web version with firefox. The audio portion works just fine and the video portion works too. But the screen-share function does not work. I can't see anyone else's screen when they share it.
Firefox always has a notice when I start up MS Teams (attached the image to this post). But when I click on the "Learn More" button, the bar just disappears without taking me anywhere new. So I'm unable to learn more. Does anyone know what plugin I need or where to download it? I've done a couple of searches and haven't come up with anything helpful so I'm hoping someone can help me solve this problem.

Likely some DRM or tracking crap. So this is a Microsoft Teams message, not Firefox. What OS do you use?

It's not a Firefox Message? I use Fedora as my OS.

That is the question. Please send a complete screenshot.

This is a microsoft teams message. It's the teams colour scheme and design. Firefox messages are grey and left-alligned:

Have you tried changing the user agent to chrome to see if it works for you?

No, I haven't done that yet. I know FF wasn't officially supported before but I thought MS supports it now?

I would think May would try their best to shift you to edge instead.
Switch that user agent and see.

I'll try it out. Thanks for the tip.

Is Firefox maybe blocking a popup when you click on "Learn more"?

Good thought; I had the same one. But it isn't... I checked for that.

Best guess is standard MS buggery.
I had teams running on my phone, but removed it on account trying to improve my mental health. The other day I needed to use teams on the go, and I tried using firefox on android. No dice, browser not supported, why don't you try our client? So I tried desktop mode, found out that I still had chrome installed, then tried opera and at last I even installed edge, and tried all in desktop mode as well.
I get that some functions may not work in rando mobile browsers, but teams noped out of every try. So guess who still isn't accessible on teams.

You probably need to enable DRM content, it's a setting in Firefox.
