ElementLinux vs Microsoft Teams (full desktop calling support)Windows

Element como alternativa Linux a Microsoft Teams (full desktop calling support)

Actualizado el 28 de octubre de 2026

Nuestra opinión

Element is a solid replacement for Microsoft Teams if your organization prioritizes privacy and open standards over deep Office 365 integration. It handles video and voice calls, screen sharing, persistent messaging, and group rooms reliably. Cross-platform sync works well, and Matrix federation allows communication across different servers. However, it lacks real-time document collaboration like Teams with Office Online. Best suited for teams already using or willing to adopt decentralized communication, especially those not dependent on Microsoft's ecosystem.

Abrir tus archivos de Microsoft Teams (full desktop calling support)

Element does not support opening Microsoft Teams-specific files or chat exports. Files shared in Element are standard attachments and can be downloaded normally, but there is no migration path for Teams chat logs, meeting recordings, or OneNote notebooks. If documents were shared via Teams and stored in OneDrive, they must be manually downloaded and re-uploaded to Element. No tool exists to convert Teams workspace data to Matrix rooms.
