Element vs Microsoft Teams (legacy): ¿es una buena alternativa en Linux?

Element como alternativa Linux a Microsoft Teams (legacy)

Actualizado el 25 de octubre de 2026

Nuestra opinión

Element is a solid replacement for Microsoft Teams (legacy) if your organization values open standards, self-hosting, and end-to-end encryption. It supports persistent chat rooms, real-time video conferencing, and file sharing, making it suitable for team collaboration. However, it lacks native integration with Microsoft 365 tools like Outlook and SharePoint. Best for teams already using or willing to adopt Matrix, especially those prioritizing privacy and cross-platform compatibility over seamless Microsoft ecosystem integration.

Lo que cambia

Abrir tus archivos de Microsoft Teams (legacy)

Element allows uploading and downloading files directly in rooms, preserving version history, but does not natively open or convert Microsoft Teams-specific formats like .tmsg or exported chat logs. Files shared in Teams (e.g., Word, Excel) can be viewed in Element if the user has compatible Linux applications like LibreOffice. There is no automated migration path for chat history or file metadata from Teams to Element.

Preguntas frecuentes

Can Element replace Teams for daily stand-ups and video meetings?

Yes, Element supports reliable WebRTC-based video calls with screen sharing, making it suitable for daily meetings. Performance is comparable, though it lacks background blur or live transcription.

Can we federate with other companies using Element?

Yes, thanks to Matrix federation, your team can communicate with other Matrix servers just like email, enabling cross-organization collaboration without central control.
