Meeting Links Not Opening #1098

Ryushin · 2024-02-09T19:19:11Z

Meeting links using msteams://teams.microsoft.com are not starting a meeting inside teams-on-linux. Copying and pasting the meeting link inside teams-on-linux and then clicking on the link does work. I've gone through the issues and it seemed like this was already fixed, so I don't know if it's "just me"

Example:

/opt/teams-for-linux/teams-for-linux "msteams://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/<meeting link goes here>"}" --appLogLevels=error,info,warn,debug

DEBUG] configPath:,/home/chris/.config/teams-for-linux
[DEBUG] configFile:,[object Object]
[INFO] App already running

I'm running on Devuan Daedalus (Debian Bookworm). Running Teams-For-Linux deb package 1.4.10

If run
/opt/teams-for-linux/teams-for-linux https:/teams.microsoft.com/
It gives me the same already running error, but it opens a whole new window, replacing the previous window, and opens up the meeting.

I do have Microsoft's Teams client installed as well. xdg-mime settings shows teams-for-linux as being the default:

xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/msteams
teams-for-linux.desktop

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I was looking for a fix too. I tried to open a Teams Meeting Link (as follows: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/message/xxxxxx). It opened in my default browser, and I found no way to open in the Teams for Linux app. Is it possible? Is there a workaround?

I'm on KDE and tried to check in the File Association settings, but could not find anything. I'm using the Flatpak.

Thanks.

I use the Redirector add on for Firefox. It redirects https links to msteams. See:

Thanks a lot, I'll try that 😄 !

Is this supposed to happen or is a feature request needed?

MM's solution forwarded by Ryushin


# How to get Teams-for-Linux to join for the meeting invitations

1) Install Redirector extension for your browser. (e.g. 
2) Setup Redirector: 
  Description:MS teams
Example URL:https://teams.microsoft.com/*
Include pattern:https://teams.microsoft.com/(.*)
Redirect to:msteams://teams.microsoft.com/$1
Pattern type: Wildcard Regular Expression
Pattern Description:
Example result:msteams://teams.microsoft.com/*
3) Change App handling in settings (this is firefox, but also Chrome has such setting available) about:preferences -> Applications -> msteams: Always Ask
4) Create a script (and chmod a+x it): 
	#!/bin/bash
	URL="${1/msteams/https}"
	teams-for-linux --url $URL

5) Then when you open a link to meeting, it open it on browser, and  now should ask the app what is used for it - open the link with that script.

Ryushin · 2024-02-24T13:54:44Z

This is supposed to happen in everything I've read. Reading the old issues it seems this was fixed twice in the past.

Thanks for sharing, this workaround works.

You can import this file into redirector to save 2 seconds of typing
Redirector.json
This script again saves you 2 seconds of typing
teams-for-linux-open-url.zip

I hope to see this fixed though

Is this issue only affecting me then that teams-for-linux won't open msteams links but it's working for others? I am using the Debian package.

I still get the error that teams-for-linux is already running when trying to pass a msteams link:

/opt/teams-for-linux/teams-for-linux "msteams://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_MGE5ODMzMzgtZGQyYi00ZGFhLTk5OGUtYWNjOGQ1Y2FjMDhk%40thread.v2/0?context={"Tid"%3a"038b9396-0699-4a0d-b139-a19f7345f3e6"%2c"Oid"%3a"1c8786a6-1c90-4072-a79b-21a34d21556b"}" --appLogLevels=error,info,warn,debug

[DEBUG] configFile:,[object Object]

Zahrun · 2024-02-27T13:58:14Z

That is why the script replaces msteams:// with https://

#!/bin/bash
	URL="${1/msteams/https}"
	teams-for-linux --url $URL

Okay, I downloaded the zip and I see it now. Putting it in my ~/bin and calling it from Redirector in Firefox allows it to open the meeting. It does seem to open a new window in place of the old one, not sure if it appears that way or that is be design.

joh4nd · 2024-02-28T13:52:40Z

But if you have to call a script to make teams-for-linux open the URL anyway, then why not just copy-paste the URL as an argument from the terminal? teams-for-linux URL

But if you have to call a script to make teams-for-linux open the URL anyway, then why not just copy-paste the URL as an argument from the terminal? teams-for-linux URL

Pasting the link in the shell works just as well.

The script is just a workaround for right now until teams-on-linux can open msteams links.

IsmaelMartinez · 2024-04-02T22:10:30Z

This is strange as I can see the links to meetings working just fine.

This is the area where the regex gets triggered. https://github.com/IsmaelMartinez/teams-for-linux/blob/develop/app/mainAppWindow/index.js#L225 . It will be good if people can start the app with the debug mode on and see if you get any logs that can give us a hint. Does the meeting links start with https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/... ?

Ryushin · 2024-04-03T11:21:14Z

Afraid the problem still exists. The debug is the same as I posted before:

chris@muaddib:~$ /opt/teams-for-linux/teams-for-linux "msteams://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_<redacted link>%40thread.v2/0?context={"Tid"%3a"<redacted link>-b139-a19f7345f3e6"%2c"Oid"%3a"<redacted link>-21a34d21556b"}" --appLogLevels=error,info,warn,debug

IsmaelMartinez · 2024-04-04T09:50:43Z

This might be fixed in #1176 . Can one of you test it in this pre-release https://github.com/IsmaelMartinez/teams-for-linux/releases/tag/v1.4.18 ? It might not change anything but I have changed the regex around that are to be a bit "better". Ta

chrisjdev · 2024-04-19T19:51:40Z

I'm sure this is probably only useful to me, but I found it will load the join meeting dialog without reloading the site if I loaded a msteams:// link with:

window.webContents.executeJavaScript(`
	function navigateAngularToMeeting() {
		const injector = window.angular.element(document.documentElement).injector();
		const rootScope = injector.get('$rootScope');
		const location = injector.get('$location');
		location.url('${url.substring(9, url.length)}');
		rootScope.$digest();
	}; navigateAngularToMeeting();
`);

I know this will probably break once MS stops supporting the AngularJS MS Teams site. And I'm running this on a Mac, so I'm not sure if this would even be helpful for AngularJS MS Teams on Linux.

IsmaelMartinez · 2024-05-03T05:40:30Z

@nerumo / @Zahrun , 1.4.27 create the "white/blank screen" to a few users but that was related to us updating the electron version. Are you able to try with 1.4.35 (latest) and see if you got the same problem?

Thanks @chrisjdev for the suggestion/workaround!

nerumo · 2024-05-10T15:36:01Z

I just tested with 1.4.37, it reloads the webview

Hi. I'm running Teams for Linux v1.4.37. Do I need to install the Redirector add on in Firefox?

I ask cause when I launch Teams for Linux, then navigate to the Calendar section, click Join with an ID, enter required Meeting ID and passcode and finally click Join meeting, I'm redirected away from the app and to the browser.

OK - this is very interesting.

If I login to Teams using my business email, it doesn't redirect after clicking the Join meeting button. However, if I login to Teams using my personal Hotmail account, it redirects...

I hope this helps you track the issue down...

EDIT: I might also add that after adding the Redirector addon to Firefox, I was prompted to select the handler. However, absolutely nothing happens after I select the script I created (${HOME}/bin/teamsfix) as suggested by @joh4nd further up as the handler.

ak2766 · 2024-05-16T05:30:19Z

Something else to note. Whenever I logout of my personal account and login to the business one, I always get this prompt - and there's no escaping switching as there's no cancel button:

It looks like there's a different version of something being loaded when logging in with the Hotmail account.

IsmaelMartinez · 2024-05-16T08:13:55Z

@ak2766 , thanks for reporting. On the 1st one if you try 'ctrl+click' it might just work, but I suspect it will not work as you probably need to authenticate in another "domain"

Regarding the redirector script, I wonder if that is because you are in teams v2. If that is the case you will probably need to add a /v2 after teams.microsoft.com but MS might have changed something else and that might not work.

For the last note, your company can decide to force you to teams-v2, while if you are in your personal account, is up to MS to do it. Hope helps!

I still use the Redirector add on to get the pop up to choose the program to open it with, then I point it to the shell script to convert msteams links back to https links that TFL can open:

at teams-for-linux-open-url.sh
#! /bin/bash

URL="${1/msteams/https}"
teams-for-linux --url $URL

TFL still can't seem to open up msteams links.

@IsmaelMartinez

@ak2766 , thanks for reporting. On the 1st one if you try 'ctrl+click' it might just work, but I suspect it will not work as you probably need to authenticate in another "domain"

Unfortunately, that did not work - it still redirected to the browser.

Regarding the redirector script, I wonder if that is because you are in teams v2. If that is the case you will probably need to add a /v2 after teams.microsoft.com but MS might have changed something else and that might not work.

This one is rather interesting in that if I disable the redirector script, the URL in the browser looks like this:

.../v2/?meetingjoin=true#/meet/<meetingId>?p=<passcode>&anon=true&deeplinkId=40e55111-40a7-4593-ac12-898eae1670a8

However, when I enable the redirector, the URL in the browser morphs into:
.../meet/<meetingId>?p=<passcode>

EDIT:

For completeness sake, here's my redirector config:

And here's the BASH script:

#!/bin/bash
logfile="/var/tmp/teamsfix.log"
exec &>${logfile}
set -x
URL="${1/msteams/https}"
teams-for-linux --url "$URL"

IsmaelMartinez · 2024-05-17T04:12:03Z

I suspect it is a teams-v2. The URLs have changed to add a V2 in between the domain and parameters.

That might have resulted in the ms stuff not understanding the redirect you are passing.

If you can provide logs for each of the cases, then it might show what is wrong, but I suspect it might just be a bit of tweaking of the config. Good luck

Not a big issue for me now since I have a corporate account login workaround. Will post the logs within the next couple of days.

ak2766 · 2024-05-20T06:54:27Z

I believe I have found the issue.

After reading this issue - #1156 - I noticed that whenever I logged in to Teams with my Hotmail account, the URL would be set to:

document.location.href
'https://teams.live.com/_#/conversations/?ctx=chat'

After following the instructions suggested by @christosnake, the URL is now showing up as:

document.location.href
'https://teams.live.com/v2/'

And now, joining a meeting with an ID no longer redirects to Teams in the browser.

ak2766 · 2024-05-20T07:31:32Z

Bummer. Looks like even with the localStorage option (see below), it reverts to the Classic URL (/_#/conversations/?ctx=chat) after I logging in and out of the corporate account!

window.localStorage.setItem("tmp.isOptedIntoT2Web", true)
document.location.href = 'https://teams.microsoft.com/v2/'

Looks like I'm stuck in a no win situation, albeit there are workarounds...

Try 1.7.1. it should, in theory, be able to handle it. But that implementation has always been a bit flaky.

My comment was based on 1.7.1. In the logs I see:

It did a full apge reload and the meeting did not open

IsmaelMartinez · 2024-06-12T20:04:44Z

Did it change focus to the app? I think there are two behaviours depending if it comes from process arguments (running from the command line). Maybe we can change the login that only does the focus, but it might open a can of worms we don't want

joakim-tjernlund · 2024-06-26T16:19:37Z

I have these external invites where there is an link embedded into the msg(https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_ ... ) and when I click on them nothing happens.

--webDebug --appLogLevels=error,info,warn,debug shows me when clicking on the link:

....
[DEBUG] testing RegExp onNewWindow true
[DEBUG] DEBUG - captured meetup-join url

Location is set to: Link in invite instead of Microsoft Teams Meeting

Tried 1.7.4, 1.6.1 and 1.4.39

joakim-tjernlund · 2024-06-26T16:25:09Z

Forgot, teams-for-linux will show the link but I cannot copy/select it
It would be great if one could copy any embedded link and paste it anywhere else.

IsmaelMartinez · 2024-07-01T08:42:35Z

Hi @joakim-tjernlund, the not been able to copy is something we can't do much, ask Microsoft about this.

Thanks for sharing you also got the problem. I am not sure why this is happening but I believe MS does a lot of redirects between one an another making it quite confusing. If it works for one use case, it fails for the other. But we will get there.

alexconst · 2024-07-24T13:43:50Z

Hi

I'm using teams-for-linux 1.8.1 and I'm also having issues in joining a meeting either with the url or with meeting id.

If I run teams-for-linux --url 'https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxx%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%xxxx-xxxx-xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx%22%7d' it will start the application but then won't do anything.

And if I try to join with the meeting id (via the application join by id button) then it opens a new tab on my browser for that meeting.

This was in Debian 11 Bullseye

Thanks

edit: not sure if related to this but I saw this error:

[27255:0724/141245.620341:ERROR:cert_verify_proc_builtin.cc(1052)] CertVerifyProcBuiltin for wan.measure.office.com failed:

Forgot to comment ...

To me this problem feels like captured meetup-join url is just ignoring the link? There are no more debug msgs or activity after that log msg.

seba7667 · 2024-08-13T08:40:36Z

I just installed the newest version and now I see that once I am trying to join the call I am redirected to the TFL but on the TFL I see only blue screen.
I am using Ubuntu 22.04

EDIT
I tested Edge version 1.9.0 and now I don't see blue screen but screen with information "Settings things up for you" and then is redirect to the chat instead of the call

IsmaelMartinez · 2024-08-16T18:48:18Z

hi @seba7667 , can you clear the cache and try again? Sometimes when an update includes a change of electron version it messes up with the cache.

seba7667 · 2024-08-16T19:04:38Z

I removed all files from:
/home/USERNAME/.config/teams-for-linux/Cache/Cache_Data
but still the same issue, blue screen

IsmaelMartinez · 2024-08-16T23:01:39Z

Can you clean the whole folder and try again ?/home/USERNAME/.config/teams- for-linux/ What happens if you try it on the browser? If you still have the problem, can you open a separate issue and fill the template with as much info as possible? Thanks!

I tried the same behavior, when I disable the redirector on the browser it's working fine there.
Why do you want to have a separate issue thread for the same issue?

IsmaelMartinez · 2024-08-19T14:39:27Z

because there are 53 comments in this issue. While the outcome is the same (failure to open meeting links), the issue is probably different. Having the info for your specific issue will help me understand the problem and, hopefully, find a solution.

IsmaelMartinez · 2024-08-20T21:32:41Z

This might be now fixed in pre-release 1.9.1 using the config option disableGpu that was missing an extra electron command. See #1369 for more info. Can you check? Thanks!

Specially for @Zahrun and @nerumo as I can see the gl_surface_presentation_helper in the logs , but probably applicable to others than haven't shared their logs.

ak2766 · 2024-08-21T01:12:36Z

@IsmaelMartinez - I've just installed v1.9.1 and still being rejected at initial screen as I've reported before:

The only way to get past this is to use ctrl+d to bring up the debug window and then paste this:

document.location.href='https://teams.microsoft.com/v2/'

After which I can login. Additionally, I'm still taken to the old version and then I'm presented with the "Your org is switcing to the new..." message with the only option being to click the "Switch now" button.

I've resigned myself to jumping these hoops until we can find fix.

Mind you, I'm very willing to have a video conference to help resolve the issue. Just let me know when.

ak2766 · 2024-08-21T02:00:16Z

The issue for me is that I have a M365 family subscription and that means I'm normally on teams.live.com. However, when I need to be in a meeting with a corporate entity, I need to be on teams.microsoft.com - hence this issue of constant switching via the debug window.

I wonder if the end user could be given the option to use one or the other at startup. I have a feeling I'm in the minority with this issue so maybe just ignore me for now.

IsmaelMartinez · 2024-08-21T07:22:00Z

Hi @ak2766 , your issue looks more related to the config options. You should be using the optInTeamsV2 and url options.

See the https://github.com/IsmaelMartinez/teams-for-linux/blob/develop/app%2Fconfig%2FREADME.md and #1156

If you still have problems as your issue is different than the originally reported, open a different issue with a bit of a resume, filling the template. Include also your config file if you can. All of that would help me give you a more custom response.

I prefer not to have a call as then solutions get lost on the words (and I also don't have much availability tbh), but I am fairly confident those config options will work for you.

IsmaelMartinez · 2024-08-21T07:24:46Z

I had a wee browse through the 60 messages and saw you are already using a config option. You should be using your live URL instead of the teams one.

Zahrun · 2024-08-21T10:22:23Z

This might be now fixed in pre-release 1.9.1 using the config option disableGpu that was missing an extra electron command. See #1369 for more info. Can you check? Thanks!

Specially for @Zahrun and @nerumo as I can see the gl_surface_presentation_helper in the logs , but probably applicable to others than haven't shared their logs.

Seems to work fine now here in 1.9.1, thanks

My workaound is to pass the open links to scripts:

#! /bin/bash

URL="${1/msteams/https}"
teams-for-linux --customUserDir="/home/chris/.teams-for-linux_data/giant" --url $URL

I have to run three different teams instances now for three different clients. So I have three open link scripts that pass the link to each of my Teams instances.

IsmaelMartinez · 2024-08-22T14:26:01Z

@Ryushin, that looks as neat as it currently can be. The only other option/suggestion would be to see if you can just copy/paste the link inside a chat (it can be your own chat) in your clients and see if that opens it inside the right client.

Having more than 1 client makes this more complex, as either all clients will try to open it, or only one client will be registered to open the meeting links. Glad you got a workaround.

Yea, I will also paste the links as a workaround. I have to change the msteams to https, but other than that, that works too.

So yea, very, very happy that you have created teams-for-linux. Only outstanding issue for me is I can't share my screen, but that too will eventually be fixed. You are outstanding! Thanks again.

faelpinho · 2024-10-09T17:16:35Z

Hi everyone!
I'm also using Redirector, it's working good for me.
A suggestion to extension only open meetings links are changing https://teams.microsoft.com/* to https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/*

Example URL: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/*
Include pattern: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/(.*)
Redirect to: msteams://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/$1

Now just meetings links opens correctly with the app.
