I think its just '"~/.config/Microsoft/Microsoft Teams' but i will do some more checking and try it out.

Hi, i could get the app working from xming. But it doesnt work on vncclient. is it something to do with env display=: ?

how can i enable x11 forwarding on vnc so i could view the app on remote desk?

Hello,

I just can't start teams. After running the run.sh a command line opens as intended. Unfortunately nothing happens when I try to launch teams. Any chance somebody has an idea what could cause the issue?

Also makes sense to use a non-root user as the container itself is privileged:

RUN useradd teams && mkdir -p /home/teams && chown teams:teams /home/teams
USER teams

And with --volume="$HOME/.Xauthority:/home/teams/.Xauthority:rw" of course.

I've reused some its of this gist to embed everything in a fork of https://github.com/mdouchement/docker-zoom-us, which I have committed to https://github.com/olberger/docker-teams-linux

No warranty, as I haven't tested much.

Hope this works.
