Open Teams in a mobile browser and Microsoft says your browser is unsupported and to download the app, but if you request the desktop site it works (lemm.ee)

Of course it looks like shit though. It doesn't size to your screen, it looks like normal teams but really small.

Outlook works in the browser fine, and maybe I don't want to have teams on my personal phone but occasionally want to check things

When I tried this, second half of 2024, I had to spoof my user-agent and use private mode to not get ID'd as the mobile browser who just tried to load the site.

I mean it's fine to tell people that your site doesn't work as intended, it's fine that you have to request the desktop site. And I'm not complaining about the user experience. FFS I used to surf with the Opera browser MIDlet, on my Samsung d500, 20 years ago. Having an interface that matches your screen is a luxury most people take for granted these days.

But I feel like I had to jump through multiple hoops to bypass microsoft's wish that I install their client and have it be connected in the background.
