Calls support in Firefox (Mozilla)
From our perspective it is really instrumental for people to use Firefox and still join our calls. There are some clients of ours who only use Firefox and we cannot force them to go through hops to join calls (like installing Chrome or Teams just to talk to us once). Please add that support! Thank you very much in advance!

I understand the economical decision to support the poor and broken WebRTC implementation of Chromium, due to its market share. On the other hand, with the resources Microsoft has, the right way really should have been to help Google engineers fix their implementation, and then implement these features according to the established sandard. Then, it would work on *proper*, standards-compliant browsers like Firefox, and any current and future alternatives, automatically, without Microsoft continuing to have to implement and maintain dirty workarounds in order to fix problems caused by incompetencies of Google engineering. Rather than help Google turn Chrome into the new IE6, it would be the right thing to do for Microsoft to defend, maintain and support web standards, rather than proprietary bricolages of a competitor.

Best solution would be to not use Microsoft Teams, and find an alternative, of which there are many.

Mind-boggling that this still is not available without mucking about with changing the User Agent (something beyond non-developers). ESPECIALLY during a pandemic when people are signing up for online content by the millions. Microsoft, you're missing a HUGE opportunity here.

I started with Netscape Navigator back in the '90s and never saw any reason to switch to Internet Explorer, Opera nor Chrome(ium). Please support this wonderful browser!

I don't see a clear idea of why it is not implemented yet!

According to this issue on webcompat, this is being worked on (?)

In my experience Teams works well when changing the user agent in Firefox, there is little need for a block like this to be in place.

Calls are mostly working when switching the user agent in Firefox except the microphone has some delays at startup.
However the screen sharing doesn't work. I don't expect at first to share my own screen (I can admit that there may have limitations), but why I can't see screen sharing from the other? It's just a video stream. -

I Microsoft wants us to believe they care about an open internet, they need to support Firefox. Otherwise, we're just perpetuating the same mistakes Microsoft made with IE6.
