Element ou Microsoft Teams (legacy) : une bonne alternative sous Linux ?

Element, alternative Linux à Microsoft Teams (legacy)

Mis à jour le 25 octobre 2026

Notre avis

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.

Ouvrir vos fichiers 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.
