Peron ally, I wouldn't use wine if you paid me. I have always believed in using the best tool for the job, however. As with so many other applications, I have friends who run MS in a VM and have excellent results. It is relatively easy to set up on your PC. Rather than waste all the time and effort you have on getting MS Teams to work with FreeBSD, why not just install your favorite VM, throw a copy of Win 10 on it and enjoy MS Teams with out all the headaches. Now you would have more time to play golf, go fishing or whatever sport or entertainment you like. By the way, have you tried reporting your problem to Microsoft? There should be a link to their 'feedback' portal for reporting problems somewhere in the application. Life is too short to spend it trying to reinvent the wheel. --=20 Jerry --Sig_/dLhNWM8Y9r=FwzwdVN++o1i Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEIQb/tTwl6I1ueEVtOHMGOIfexWQFAl61LlgACgkQOHMGOIfe xWRinQgApSM8YZBd4J6ZkjO7EuzoK2KKjvZpYv9tQugoSfS6LQ86070maAylauVT WHMpPnIkgieAJnXiIYGkhorUYJrGKR6rEOhVVgTWi0peNdqtAJYub/7q/nN4Pxni 3+nSfTBn7eu/vhS60P79aoOGo8stv0pKB9Cb4rx/OwlDJAkrzQoAAWeb6XFDW9MF +hoop9TUfu5mdYDTJhaHwG7NpPzspUBRo/jHi+tRIq1Ok7WvXaJrY5PIMU+da39q 7n2qRs2mDYvoCVEKE/FOABVHfu2/c7Y22I2/A+z3VVZp1YEq+TnGm108H66D7BI5 fSJtlYWDAoxP1JevHp+K6EqMblAMMA== =YkBD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/dLhNWM8Y9r=FwzwdVN++o1i--
