Element, alternative Linux à Microsoft Teams
Mis à jour le
Notre avis
Element can serve as a replacement for Microsoft Teams for users who need secure, federated chat and video calls and are comfortable with a more open ecosystem. It works well for teams that value end‑to‑end encryption, persistent rooms and the ability to connect with external Matrix servers. However, it lacks deep Office 365 integration and some of the enterprise‑grade admin features that Teams provides, so it suits small to medium groups or privacy‑focused organisations rather than large corporate deployments that rely on the full Microsoft stack.

Ouvrir vos fichiers Microsoft Teams
Element can receive and download files sent from Teams, but it cannot directly open or edit Office documents stored in SharePoint or OneDrive. Users will need to download the file and open it with a local office suite (LibreOffice, OnlyOffice, etc.). Exporting Teams‑specific metadata such as channel tabs or Planner boards is not supported.
Passer de Microsoft Teams à Element, étape par étape
- Create a Matrix account on a server you control or use a public homeserver.
- Invite existing Teams users to a new Element room by sharing the room link or QR code.
- Configure room permissions and enable end‑to‑end encryption if required.
- Install the Element Flatpak (flatpak install flathub im.riot.Riot) and log in with your Matrix credentials.
- Upload or share any needed files from your local storage into the room.
- Optional: Set up bots or integrations from the Element store to replace specific Teams apps.

Can I join an existing Microsoft Teams meeting from Element?
No. Teams meetings use a proprietary protocol; you need the Teams client or a web browser to join.
Is end‑to‑end encryption mandatory for all chats?
Encryption is optional and can be enabled per room; private rooms are encrypted by default.
Will my chat history migrate automatically from Teams to Element?
There is no built‑in migration tool; you would need to export Teams chat logs manually and import them, which is rarely practical.
