I still use the old - and last - official Linux .deb package for Teams and sure enough, it doesn’t behave properly in i3: Teams starts and shows up in the systray but the window is fullscreen and won’t close. I have to keep a workspace around just for Teams.

I suspect Electron of course. Electron doesn’t integrate well with any Linux desktop environment. Just wondering if someone knows if there’s a trick to make it close in i3.

    I use the flatpak portal for teams. It works quite well in sway under Wayland. It might solve your problem

      Alright good to know! I was hoping to avoid the unofficial client - and Flatpak, which introduces yet another layer of mindless resource wastage on top of Electron itself - but I guess I’ll have to go that route eventually.

      Thanks!

      Sorry I should have made myself clearer: I don’t want to stop Teams, I want to minimize the main window to tray.
