Element als Linux-Alternative zu Microsoft Teams (consumer version)
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
Element is a solid replacement for Microsoft Teams (consumer version) if you prioritize privacy, decentralization, and open standards over tight integration with Microsoft's ecosystem. It handles group chat, voice and video calls, screen sharing, and file sharing reliably. However, it lacks calendar and task integration, so teams relying on Outlook or Planner will need third-party tools. The experience is consistent across devices, and end-to-end encryption adds security. Best for individuals or teams open to switching platforms and not dependent on Microsoft-specific workflows.

Ihre Microsoft Teams (consumer version)-Dateien öffnen
Element does not natively open or convert Microsoft Teams-specific files or export formats. If files were shared in Teams and saved locally (e.g., Word, Excel), they can be viewed in Linux apps like LibreOffice. Element supports standard file types for upload, but there's no automated way to import Teams chat attachments or conversation history. Users must manually download and re-upload files when switching platforms.

Can I call someone on Microsoft Teams using Element?

Is my data encrypted in Element?

Does Element support mobile devices?
Yes. Official Element apps are available for Android and iOS, and they sync seamlessly with the desktop version using the same account.
