For me it worked out if I set the http_proxy variable and then start teams with teams --proxy-auto-detect. This is working with Teams Version 1.3.00.16851 (64 bit) at least on my side.

hdesk Thank you so much!  I just tried the latest version and everything worked perfectly without adding any extra CLI parameters!  It appears that maybe this has been fixed!!! 🙂

    Glad to hear. On my side starting the app without the proxy won't work. Defining the proxy with --proxy-server won't work either. But this is maybe related to the network itself.

      Ah interesting.  Well in case it helps, this is exactly how I've configured my proxy on my Linux system.  I'm using GNOME on Fedora 32.

       

      Under Setting / Network / Network Proxy, I have my system set to Automatic as we have an auto-configuration script on our VPN.

       

      In addition, for internet traffic, I set the proxy systemwide via a script in /etc/profile.d like so:

       

      /etc/profile.d/proxy.sh

       

      export http_proxy='http://localhost:8080'
export https_proxy='http://localhost:8080'
export ftp_proxy='http://localhost:8080'

       

      I use localhost as I'm relaying my proxy via CNTLM.

       

      Hope this helps!
