Microsoft Teams on OpenBSD

Microsoft Teams is primarily developed for Edge, so it's easier to make it work in Chromium.

# pkg_add chromium

The following commands enable audio and video recording in OpenBSD. It's needed to use the microphone and the webcam, respectively. Execute these commands with the value 0 instead of 1 to disable them again.

# sysctl kern.audio.record=1
# sysctl kern.video.record=1

It's recommended to enable recording only when needed, and disable it again when finished. But it's possible to keep it enabled by adding the following lines to the file /etc/sysctl.conf:

kern.audio.record=1
kern.video.record=1

Teams is accessible from https://teams.microsoft.com.

It is a Progressive Web App (PWA), so it can be installed from Chromium's menu and launched like any application.
