I still have "half" working Teams in Firefox (76.0,1) with this UA: "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/79.0.3945.79 Safari/537.36" using the plugin "user-agent switcher". As you say, I only get audio and no video (neither my collegues can see me, or I can see them). If I enable camera my audio stops working. However, when $company has had these big presentations using teams, video works for some reason (but then I'm not allowed audio, so I guess its in the way the meeting is set up). Regards Henrik
