Teams Updates on MacOS - unexpectedly and unasked in the middle of a call
Deal All, in our company we have some Mac's (Intel and Silicon, older and current MacOS). Since two years, the users are reporting that Teams is automatically updated, unexpectedly and unasked in the middle of a call. As far as I know, the update process of teams works automatically and can't be setup by an admin, intune or anything else. So, has anyone an idea why this happens and how I can solve this for my users? Thanks, Christian
Update 1.4.00.4855-1 breaks Teams for Linux
I'm on Fedora 33 latest patches and I recently got the 1.4 Teams update. It completely broke my ability to join calls somehow. Anybody else have this issue? A simple rollback to 1.3 fully restored functionality. Whenever I click a meeting link in 1.4 Teams says "unable to join this call." Strangely after update Teams asked me to sign in like I'd never used it before - yet it shows all prior chat history. $ sudo dnf list --showduplicates teams Last metadata expiration check: 0:00:10 ago on Wed 10 Mar 2021 03:12:51 PM GMT.

Teams Room Console (MTR) - no update. Need Zoom and Webex feature
I have a MTR device from HP and the version 4.2.42.0 which was coming after the first setup from this device last month. I tried the function for Zoom and Webex, but I got the message on my MTR , when I click on a Zoom or Webex Meeting "This isn't a Teams or Skype meeting, Ask the organiser to make this a Team or Skype". So I checked the release page and saw there is a new version since end of march. We have end of april but my Windows 10 IoT doesnt show me any updates and I have still 4.2.42.0 And of course, there is no way to download the MTR exe to update this, or check for updates or something, isnt it? Maybe this is not depening why Zoom and Webex is not available but why I cant update MTR and why it Zoom and Webex not working then? BestTeams Updater Vulnerability
There are reports circulating that the Teams auto-update process suffers from the same unsigned code execution as other application built with Electron. Running the Update.exe processStart with any unsigned application binary will run the unsigned application as signed code through a process chain. The Teams Update.exe is signed by Microsoft so the usual AppLocker and Application Guard defences will not block this exploit. Has anyone got any advice on a work around or information on whether Microsoft are going to plug this exploit?
