If you use Firefox, you are a communist; and if you are a communist why would you need the glorious tools of corporate communication? Just make do with rotten turnips as Lenin intended
You can override the check by spoofing the user agent.
When I last needed to do it, calling didn’t work, sound came out of my monitor instead of my headset, and the entire thing was slow.
Hopefully things have changed for the better, but when this popup was first introduced, they were right to block Firefox. Firefox implemented various APIs differently in a way that a developer wouldn’t be able to cope with without rewriting a ton of code.
With Firefox barely making up 3% of global market share, I doubt you’ll find many companies working around these levels of incompatibilities. For smaller things adding a -moz-something CSS rule or an if statement here and there is manageable but this was a huge mess.
The only way to make it work would’ve been to develop it Firefox first, and then abandon features like virtual backgrounds, selecting audio devices, and some other things you would expect from a serious video calling solution.
This one was on Mozilla back in the day, though I’m not sure if Mozilla may have fixed Firefox since then.
Yeah I’m more referring to sites that do this ans then work perfectly fine once the user agent reads some brand of chromium. The only serious offender I deal with on a weekly basis is Apple Business Manager.
Its cool how all these companies are allowed to just lie to you about their products functionality.

This whooshed a lot o’ folks.
Conversely, I should maybe try to use the /s thingy and stop thinking people can read my mind. Will I learn this lesson today? Hmmm
“glorious” + “rotten turnips” = /s
Don’t give in to the dark side.
You went from -12 to +16!
Fuck /s ✊
Using Firefox makes you a communist?? Maybe you just enjoying have your data harvested by Google.
Looks like your sarcasm detector is broken. Just like Teams.
You got me, not gonna lie
To be fair sarcasm is impossible to express via firefox.
Firefox supports the standard just fine

Wow I am completely shocked that is an actual standard. I wonder why more people don’t utilize it?
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Thanks for the warning bro!

Sorry if this was not clear, but it was only a joke. I assure you, I only subscribe to first-quality ideologies.
