GitHub staff are required to use Teams by Sep 1, 2023

• slack-libpurple

  4 270 2.0 C

  Slack module for libpurple

Unpopular opinion number one: James is not that bad. At least it can do video calls properly which is not something I would say of Slack.

Unpopular opinion number two: pidgi was better and I don't why we all decided as an industry to go to these ridiculously heavy memory hog electron based clients. I use Slack from Pidgin to this day: https://github.com/dylex/slack-libpurple

• purple-teams

  6 147 8.1 C

  A MS Teams plugin for libpurple/Pidgin (3rd party client)

For those having to endure Teams, try it from Pidgin, where you can at least e.g. customize what notifications you get and using interface that doesn't use half your RAM: https://github.com/EionRobb/purple-teams

• teams-for-linux

  33 2,439 8.8 JavaScript

  Unofficial Microsoft Teams for Linux client

That always frustrated me, even more-so considering how that volunteer-built package I mentioned (https://github.com/IsmaelMartinez/teams-for-linux - an Electron build of the web app, nothing flashy but does the job just fine) does support screen sharing. I haven’t checked whether it supports backgrounds as I only use voice when on calls, but I’m guessing it does if the browser variant does.
