Element, alternative Linux à Microsoft Teams (full desktop calling support)
Mis à jour le
Notre avis
Element is a solid replacement for Microsoft Teams if your primary needs are secure messaging, voice/video calls, and persistent group chats. It excels in transparency, decentralization, and privacy via end-to-end encryption. However, it lacks deep integration with Office 365 and real-time document collaboration like Teams + SharePoint. Organizations relying heavily on Microsoft workflows will face friction. Element works best for teams prioritizing open protocols, self-hosting, and cross-domain communication over tight Microsoft ecosystem integration.

Ouvrir vos fichiers Microsoft Teams (full desktop calling support)
Element does not support opening Microsoft Teams-specific files or chat exports directly. Shared documents in Element are standard files (PDF, DOCX, etc.) but lack conversion or import from Teams-native formats like OneNote or SharePoint-linked files. If documents were exported from Teams to generic formats, they can be viewed and shared in Element like any file. There is no automated migration path for chat logs or meeting history between the platforms.

Can Element do screen sharing on Linux?
Yes, Element supports screen sharing on Linux using PipeWire, required for capturing displays under Wayland. Ensure your system has PipeWire running and the browser permission prompt is allowed.
Does Element support calling from mobile and desktop simultaneously?
Yes, Element synchronizes active calls across devices, but only one device can join a call at a time, similar to Teams. Notifications and call setup sync reliably across platforms.
Can I use Element with people outside my organization?
Yes, Matrix is federated—like email—so you can communicate with users on other Matrix servers without extra setup, unlike Teams which requires guest access configuration.
