Fedora 31 / Gnome X11 / Not able to quit Teams

Teams is working well for me in Fedora 31 as far as I can see.
I can join calls and share my screen. No problem there beside constant high CPU usage which I wasn't able to reproduce yet.

What I can reproduce is the behaviour of the Teams application not quitting:

  • If I close the window it will just minimize.
  • If I go to the Gnome context menu of the Teams app, I have the "Quit" option, but it only minimizes the window.
  • After using "Quit" from the Gnome context menu and maximising the application again, the context menu will not show up again.
  • killall teams will shutdown Teams, but Teams will automatically startup again.
  • Only way for me to quit Teams is to do pgrep -a teams and kill the smallest process id

    Thank you for trying out Teams and providing feedback. I created issue in our system to track this.

    In the meantime, "Quit" option from tray-menu should work

    Alternatively, you can go to settings and disable option On close, keep the application running.

    Thanks for your swift reply.

    The tray menu is what I meant with "Gnome context menu" and "Quit" does nothing for me except minimizing the window.

    Also, my tray menu looks slightly different than yours.
    I don't seem to have the "Settings" option at all.

    While I am not for certain the process for permanently erasing the Microsoft teams file is the same for Ubuntu as it is for Fedora 35, but I can tell you what worked for me and perhaps (hopefully) it will work for you as well.

    I believe this process requires access to the root or sudo password.

    1) in the terminal, su -c 'yum search teams' -- you can generally do this for any application and also modify search with wildcards if you aren't aware of exact name.

    2) once you have confirmed the file location and name then type this in terminal, su -c 'yum remove teams'.

    Expect a prompt for the passwd and then it may asked you to confirm depending on your config setup.

    Congratulations, you have successfully rmvd teams.
